Street Smart Marketer:

An event that was conceptualized to bring out the spirit of a true marketer among the participants turned out to be the most successful event of Interface 2014.

A product was given to each team and a character was assigned to one of the members. The other member had to be a salesman who had to sell the product to the character. Just to cite an example, a salesman had to sell a bicycle to a businessman! Then a salesman had to sell a spiritual book to an Underworld Don and a corporate attire to a Disco Jockey! All the participants, judges and audience had a wonderful time during the event thanks to the wonderful homour being portrayed during the performances!

Street Smart Marketer indeed is going to reverberate for a long time in the minds and hearts of all those who witnessed the show in full spirit and motion!
