Scotiabank Vanier College National Marketing Case Competition 2025
Connecting the business community to the best and brightest marketing talent
The Vanier College Business Administration Department has been hosting and organizing this inter-collegial, national marketing case competition since 2006. The competition offers community college and CEGEP level Business Administration students a singular opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to a true to life business experience.
The Vanier College Scotiabank Case Competition is a pressure-cooker event that give students a taste of real world business problems. Teams made up of three students have three hours to analyze a business problem and create a viable marketing plan. They then make a twenty-minute Power Point presentation based on their marketing strategy in front of a panel of judges, peers, and invited guests.
The event is hosted at the Montreal Airport Marriott Hotel over 3 days, featuring awards, dinners and networking opportunities in addition to the competition itself.
