January Strategic Marketer of the Month

OXFORD, England, February 22, 2010 - The Oxford College of Marketing is delighted to announce the Strategic
Marketer of the Month is Hussam Asmar, a Marketing Manager at LaFarge, based
in Jordan.

Hussam achieved this by playing the online Market2win Game and guiding
his virtual company to a superb market victory beating four other companies
to the top position. In doing so, he demonstrated the right stuff for senior
leadership including superior customer insight, situation awareness,
strategic leadership and masterful execution.

Hussam was very glad he signed up to one of our January games, "Playing
the game was a good experience for me and would be the same for any strategic
marketer or market strategy student. Comparing it to other simulation games I
did during my studies and training, I believe the Market2win game is much
more strategic and more customer oriented than similar games which are more
sales oriented in nature. This game makes the player feel the importance of
both long-term and short-term decisions and focuses more on value
propositions to customers."

Do you want to develop your strategic leadership skills by playing
against other real people from around the world - and collect valuable CPD
time along the way? For more information about upcoming games go to
