A very dynamic, Mumbai’s biggest and India’s only recognised platform in the Media, Communication and Design space is the highly acclaimed Edutainment Show that has been held for the last two years at the J. W. Marriott Hotel, Mumbai. It was an amazing opportunity to interact with a plethora of aspiring minds and engage with them to open doors to the most promising and sought after careers.
Following pursuit to last year, Northpoint participated in The Edutainment Show 2014 at the J. W. Marriott Hotel in Mumbai on April 26 and 27, 2014 together with prominent leaders in the Edutainment industry like Whistling Woods International, Youth Inc., School of Fashion, International Institute of Sports Management, etc.
The event was graced by distinguished personalities from the Edutainment Industry like Josy Paul, Chairman – BBDO; Jaideep Singh, CEO – Live Viacom 18; Subhash Ghai, Neeta Lulla and many many more.
Creating awareness about a career in Marketing Communications enabled the participants to open their mind to a world of endless possibilities and their interests were kept alive through an interesting quiz and the aspiring professional activity. Northpoint was very happy to have some of our alumni like Cherisma Lahori, Neha Shah, Vibha Shetty, Nikhil Mudaliar and Dharshini Kumar to share their experience at Northpoint and how the post graduate program’s unique training model has contributed to their career successes. A big shout out to the current batch of MarComm students who spent time at the stall interacting with potential students as well.
And last but not the least was Northpoint’s participation in The Edutainment Show Awards 2014 which is India’s first ever comprehensive Media, Communication and Design education rating, ranking and awards at the national level. Awards were presented in seven different categories like Films, PR, Advertising, Fashion, Product Design, etc. and which were judged by a powerful jury comprising of leading media and design stalwarts.
The highlight of the awards – Northpoint was awarded the Third Best College for Advertising in India! The First place went to Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad while Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communications, Pune bagged the second place.
It was certainly a proud moment for Northpoint to receive this honour and a victory that was well deserved. A big “THANK YOU” to the jury of the Edutainment Show Awards and to all those who have helped Northpoint achieve impeccable heights in the communications industry especially our excellent faculty and our beloved students: this award is dedicated to you for the immense faith that you’ve shown in entrusting Northpoint to give you a super start to your careers.
