Nissan is back again this year with the third season of its Student Brand Manager Campaign and its bigger and better
Initiated in 2010, the Nissan Brand Manager Campaign has garnered enormous success and strength over the years and now in its third season, the 6-month long NSBM program is back again for 2012. Aimed at management students who will be chosen from over 25 cities in the country, the 2012 NSBM Campaign will select a total of thirty Nissan Student Brand Managers who will be given a grant of Rs. 10,000 per month for the six month tenure of the program. Handled by Nissan’s Sales & Marketing Partner in India – Hover Automotive India Pvt Ltd, the campaign will require the chosen students to conceptualise and execute creative ideas to promote the Nissan brand and its products in the Indian market space. Apart from the grant, the students will also be handed keys to Nissan Micra cars for them to relate and feel connected to the Nissan brand name as well as help them clearly identify the end-user base.
