NEW S & ACCOMPLISHMEN TS FROM DEPAUL’S
DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING
The Department of Marketing reflects on our 2014– 2015 and looks forward to connections in 2015-2016!
2015 Reflections
Letter from Sue Fogel, Department Chair (2000-2015):
Year.
It’s hard to believe another academic year is almost over. Some
of the events we sponsored this year for students include a
Marketing and Sales career event in January, an Analytics Career Night and Chinese New Year’s lunch in February.
Dr. Robert O’Keefe will be retiring at the end of this academic
year after 40 years at DePaul. Dr. Nina Diamond and Professor
Dave Hoffmeister retired at the end of the last academic year.
Both Dr. O’Keefe and Dr. Diamond will receive the Via Sapientae award at commencement this year. The Via Sapientae
award is DePaul’s highest honor and is awarded to those who
have promoted the mission and values of DePaul and established an exceptional record of teaching and scholarship.
On April 9th, more than 140 alumni joined us at Maggiano’s to
reconnect. We presented Dan Wasser, MBA ’86 with the Marketer of the Year award and Laura Floyd, BSC (IME) ’05, MSPA
’13 with the Recent Alum award.
The Kellstadt Marketing Group, our graduate student organization, held a record number of events including collaborative
meetings with students from other Chicago universities, site
visits to Sapient Nitro, Google and LinkedIn and the 7th annual
Symposium, an all day event with excellent speakers.
Professor Al Muniz’s 2001 paper “Brand Community” was recognized with the Sheth Foundation/Journal of Consumer Research’s Long Term Contribution Award. This honor recognizes
the long term impact of a paper published at least ten years
prior to the award. Professor Joel Whalen was recognized as
the American Marketing Association’s Sales Educator of the
Marketing faculty earned two teaching awards this year: Dr.
Rich Rocco is a winner of the Quality of Instruction Council Excellence in Teaching Award and Mike Hernandez is a winner of
the Daniel Seiden Adjunct Teaching Award. Our students are
fortunate to have such talented professors.
This year marks my 15th and final year as department chair. It
has been both a pleasure and a challenge to lead this department. Dr. Steve Koernig will take over this task on July 1.
Sue Fogel, PhD, Professor of Marketing
Congratulations to Professor Al Muñiz
The Sheth Foundation/Journal of Consumer Research Long-Term Contribution award goes to Professor Al
Muñiz for his important work on coining the phrase, “brand community” (continued on page 2).

Professor Al Muñiz Honored for Lasting Contributions to the Field
Professor Al Muñiz was selected as this year’s recipient of the Sheth Foundation/
Journal of Consumer Research Long-Term Contribution award. This incredible distinction is a rare accomplishment as it is only awarded every three years. Professor
Muñiz and his co-author, University of Wisconsin Marketing Professor Thomas C.
O’Guinn, were selected for the lasting contribution of one of the most highly regarded articles in consumer research. Their 2001 article, “Brand Community” was
published in the Journal for Consumer Research and introduced the phrase to the
field of study. Identifying the “brand community” helped academics, businesses and
others conceptualize how brand has a uniting quality among loyal followers. The
professors highlighted brands such as LEGO for their unique ability to cultivate an
active community of brand followers.
Being recognized for this contribution to the field is a unique and much deserved honor for Professor Muñiz who has
been with DePaul University’s Department of Marketing for sixteen years. Congratulations to Professor Muñiz!

A Day in the Life at Starcom
MediaVest Group by Claire Sindlinger
Considering a job as a marketing intern on the agency side? Here’s what
its like to be a Search Intern at Starcom MediaVest Group, from someone
who has been living it every day for the last eight weeks.
Beep. Beep. My alarm goes off at 7:00am to start my day. I begin by
morning routine, so I can catch the 8:26 purple line train downtown. The train is packed with all the busy Chicago business- men and women heading to their downtown offices. At Merchandise Mart most of the train empties out, and I finally get a seat before I step off at the State and Lake train station. Surrounded by a majority of millennial, we all pile
into the Leo Burnett Building. With a few minutes to spare before I settle into my desk on the 9th floor, I grab a bowl of
cereal and coffee from the kitchen. My desk is situated around a few other client teams, so we all say “good morning”
and chat about our week.
It’s 9:00am now. My team all files into the office. First and foremost, I check my email. Every day we receive a budget
tracker from Convonix, an Indian company who helps us manage the Mattel Search accounts. The budget tracker will
show us how each campaign is pacing on Bing and Google. It allows us to see what campaigns need to be adjusted and/
or watched. Since most of the Mattel accounts are currently going under restructure, we understand if they are not on
target during a certain day/week due to recent changes. I then communicate back and forth with Convonix on what
needs to happen.
10:00am, it is time for our daily check-in with my supervisor, the team search analyst, and myself. We each go through
what is on our plates for the day, ask questions, and divvy out new projects. Each day has different projects happening
depending on the time of year and what comes up.
After our team meeting around 10:45pm, I get back to my desk and start working. Some typical projects I could be
working on consist of adcopy, keywords, and sitelink campaign recos for the clients’ approval, in addition to launching
new campaigns in DoubleClick, which is our search platform that manages both Bing and Google accounts. On top these
projects, I will be ask to take on different projects, such as, analyzing budgets, producing general negative keyword
lists, and more. If there is something new that would be valuable for me to know, I will shadow the search analyst or
my supervisor to learn. Starcom is great at giving interns “real” projects, not just busy work, and the entire Starcom
company is always willing to allow interns to sit in on meeting or workshops that are offered to full-time employees.
Around noon, I make my way to lunch for about an hour with other interns.
By 1:00pm, I am back at my desk or in a meeting with vendors continuing the day’s work. Projects normally fill the entire day. There is never a slow moment on the Mattel Search Team. If it is a Friday, the day stops around 4:00pm, and
everyone enjoys free beer with other Starcom employees to finish out the week. This is a great way to network with
other client teams around the office, and interact with your own team.
All in all, each day at Starcom is a learning experience with endless opportunities to network. I would highly recommenced interning at a large media agency, such as Starcom MediaVest Group.

2015 KMG Symposium
Marketing Refresh: Redesigning your Strategy
Written by Nishat Fatima, President, KMG 2015-2015
On Saturday, May 9th, the Kellstadt Marketing Group at DePaul hosted its annual symposium on Marketing Refresh: Redesigning Your Strategy. The symposium focused on the changes seen in the recent years in the use of marketing and merge of digital and traditional.
We started the day of with a super yummy breakfast provided by Chick-Fil-A located on State and Lake. Their amazing chicken biscuits, cinnamon rolls, fruits, and coffee helped kick off a great start to the day!
Our opening keynote, Steven Handmaker, CMO of Assurance addressed a very important concept of engaging your employees and how
having that engaging improves efficiency, profit, and ROI. Steven stressed the importance of focusing on employees and being transparent.
Social engagement is another key area to build a happy workplace. “It’s not about big data, but about marketing differentiation,” Steven
Handmaker. Everyone in some capacity or another is collecting data but not everyone can use that data to differentiate themselves in the
marketplace and engage employees to create a happy workplace. When creating a strong market strategy, it’s essential to focus on standing
out from the crowd, being transparent both internally and externally, and most importantly it’s about leveraging your assets to decrease
your liabilities. Engaged employees are the key to building your brand as implemented by Steven at Assurance.
Our panel addressed the important topic of digital marketing and it’s importance in creating a strong strategy. What is digital marketing and
how does it differ from traditional marketing? Our four panelists had a great insight on enlightening the audience about how to merge digital with traditional to address the key marketing issues. “Digital is an Omni channel approach,” – Maria Rentzelos, Leo Burnett; Omni channel approach is about cross channel marketing done well. Digital has created a new medium and it’s imperative to quickly learn and master
it in order to understand and be a leader in your industry. Andrew Caravella from Sprout Social thinks of digital as a way to communicate
with his customers. According to him using social is a way of communication NOT a marketing tactic. While Adam Garcia from Walgreens
addressed the importance of knowing which product categories can do well on social and which don’t. People want to share but it’s important to know when information is too much. Tara Giuliano, UBS/Sikich talked about keeping up with the evolution of marketing and being data scientists/practitioners. It is important to leverage social media to tailor messages but at the same time draw the line from being
informative to being pushy. The advice of panelists to all marketers, specifically to students is to be curious, don’t be afraid of the “math”
behind marketing, understand business strategy, and be able to adapt quickly.
Corner Bakery nourished the attendees with their signature sandwiches and mini-desserts for lunch. Whether you are in a hurry or want to
enjoy a wholesome meal, Corner Bakery is the place to be.
After lunch, Tina Manikas – the president of FCB brought the house down with her insights on marketing. According to Tina, it’s not just
about having content but also about perception, loyalty, and experience. Greg Palese from Klein Tools addressed the key point of being relevant and sustainable. Klein tools is a 158 years old company but still holds a strong market place in the hand tools industry. In today’s
world, loyalty is mostly depended on your last experience; how do you stay relevant, form an emotional connection, and be memorable to
build a strong brand? It’s all about being significant, making every experience count, and staying true to your values while adapting to the
new technologies/strategies. Neil Feuling from Cars.com and a co-founder of KMG talked about the importance of Beacons in strengthening
your strategy. Using technology to create experiences for customers is the future of marketing.
An eventful and educational day came to a close with insights from Lucino Sotelo, CMO of BMO Harris Bank. Lucino, talked about the merger of two big corporations and the complexity/simplicity in coming together to redesign their strategy to emerge as a strong financial institution. Even through the economic crisis in recent years, BMO Harris bank has stayed on top due to their strong culture and strategies. BMO
believes in putting people first and banking second. Mr. Sotelo stressed the importance of understanding the insights behind analytics and
using those to create a strong digital strategy to build relevant messaging.
The symposium was a wholesome educational day with great insights from all the speakers and our event moderator Zak Protzman did a
wonderful job of staying on task and keeping us entertained. Domino’s who recently revitalized their brand provided nourishment for our
attendees to close off the day while people networked. What’s better than pizza and great company, right?
The KMG Board would like to thank all of the speakers and sponsors for taking time to participate in this year’s event and share with fellow
marketers. Lastly a special thanks to other individuals who have helped KMG have yet another successful year and Symposium event: our
faculty advisors Sue Fogel and Dr. Zafar Iqbal; Erin Walter, Lynn Hazan, Don Scheibenreif, John Digles, and Jan Gollins from DePaul’s Marketing Advisory Council; Kate Stevenson and Phyllis Sullivan from DePaul’s Department of Marketing; Megan Ouimet and Patricia Loukas
from DePaul’s Kellstadt Career Management Center; KMG’s founding President Neil Feuling, and previous President Michael Che. We appreciate your support and guidance throughout the year.
