Big Break Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Big Break?
The Big Break aims to offer students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a day in the shoes of a real marketing professional. We will award ten Big Breaks, in which students will win a chance to job-shadow a marketing executive for a day. Imagine Wireless has come aboard to generously sponsor this year’s Big Break contest. This sponsorship will be used to subsidize student attendance at the Christmas@Cannes event.

How do I enter to win a Big Break?
Students will enter the contest by submitting a 15-second video explaining why they deserve a Big Break. The students will post their videos on the event’s Facebook page. They must then promote their videos to secure the most “Likes” from friends and family. The top videos with the most likes will be short-listed. A panel of industry judges will then evaluate and select the top videos and award the Big Breaks.

What is the link to Christmas@Cannes?
The winning videos will be shown at the Christmas@Cannes event on December 2nd (5pm) at Flames Central. Students MUST be in attendance to win their Big Break. Please see www.calgarycma.com for additional details.

How many Big Breaks will be awarded?
Our goal is to award a minimum ten Big Breaks in 2011.

Do I have a chance to pick their preferred professional to shadow?
We want this to be a win-win. Some students will be interested in exposure to different industries or functional roles in marketing. Students will be asked to select their preferred top three marketing professionals. We will do our best to award the winners one of their top three.

Will I spend all day with only one person?
The goal of the Big Break will be to give students maximum exposure to a day in the life of a marketer. In this sense, the greatest value would be for the student to experience a variety of marketing roles. So an ideal scenario would be to have a winner spend time with a range of people in different roles throughout the day. This will give them a sense of the diversity of any marketing organization.

How to I schedule the day?
Winners will be provided their “Big Breaker” email address and phone number. You will then book the day that best meets your mutual schedule between December 2011 and March 2012.
