Video: EMCC Students Get Lesson In Marketing

MAYHEW, Miss. (WCBI) – Marketing students at EMCC now know what it takes to promote a large venue, and they learned it from the pros.

The students recently returned from a trip to the University of Alabama football stadium and the marketing departments for the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons.

During their tours, the students learned about promoting ticket sales and building large sports venues.

Money was a top topic. They got a first-hand look at how the teams generate millions in ticket sales every year.

The students also visited the CNN Center and the College Football Hall of Fame.
