Telecom giant Ooredoo has acknowledged the accomplishments of marketing students of Qatar
University, who participated in the 4th edition of the CBE Got Talent Contest organised by the
College of Business and Economics at the University of Qatar.
The Doha headquartered operator supported the contest by hosting a 5G Marketing Challenge in
collaboration with Qatar University.
Students were shown previous Ooredoo marketing campaigns, created with Saatchi, then challenged
to come up with something new that would highlight the potential of the incredible 5G network,
according to company officials.
At the ceremony, Fatima Sultan Al Kuwari, Chief Consumer Officer at Ooredoo, presented the
winners with honorary certificates and prizes, including a smartphone and tablet device.
Sabah Rabiah Al Kuwari, Director PR at Ooredoo, said: “We’re delighted to have given Qatar
University students the opportunity to showcase their skills and abilities with this 5G Marketing
Challenge, and proud to have celebrated the talents of the marketeers of the future.
Promoting education and development is a key focus at Ooredoo as part of our corporate social responsibility strategy, and we’re always keen to support the next generation of Qataris as they strive to excel.”
On the ongoing cooperation and partnership between the business sector and Qatar University, Dr
Abdullah Fetais, Head of Management and Marketing Department at QU College of Business and
Economics, said: “We always strive to erase the gap between academic study and professional life by
organising competitions and activities such as this Challenge. These competitions are also a great
opportunity for students to develop their skills and knowledge in marketing, as well as give them
real, relevant experience on the ground.”
