Food Marketing Team

Coaches: Dr. Annette Levi and Dr. Todd Lone

The CSU, Chico Food Marketing Team competes every year at the Western Collegiate Food Marketing Competition in Anaheim, California. The teams of students create an innovative new product and then develop a strategic marketing and business plan to promote their product. These plans are presented to a panel of industry judges who rate the quality of the plans and presentation.

This year's teams earned first place in the domestic division and first place in the international division! Bliss, a chocolate dipping product was created for the domestic market by the team of Nicolina Presininzi, Jeff Alves, Heather Clement, Erica Flores, Scott Cummings, and Jamie Crank. Sprinx was a cookie toolkit created as an entertaining snack for kids. Sprinx was created for the export market by the team of Annie Maddalena, William Weese, Brian Greathouse, and Colleen Bartlett.
