Faculty of Economics and Business

Three Bachelor in Management students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FEB UGM) made another achievement, namely 3rd place in the 2023 Andalas National Marketing Plan Competition (ANMPC) national business competition at Universitas Andalas (UNAND), Padang West Sumatra, on May 27, 2023. The three undergraduate students were named the Gasgus Team, consisting of M. Farhan Hidayat, Mochammad Bimo Anggoro, and Sealvie Rahma Abidin, all three from the 2021 undergraduate in Management.

ANMPC is an annual marketing plan competition held at Universitas Andalas. ANMPC 2023 has the theme Creative Digital Marketing: "The Solution for Raising MSMEs in the Era of Society 5.0". ANMPC raised this theme as a form of Indonesian students' first step in contributing to the development of MSMEs and growing the condition of the Indonesian economy.

Led by Farhan, the Gasgus Team felt "I didn't really expect that at first, I would qualify to become a finalist (top 7). The problem is from the preparation, we admit that we are too tight with deadlines, but we can optimize the time we have by brainstorming, dividing tasks based on our expertise, and giving each other input on the results of each other's work."

Farhan also said, "When the competition was held in Padang, I was also a bit nervous because it was the first time, and there were two teams from Ul, IPB, another UGM team, and other universities. But we managed to convince ourselves by appearing confident and focused on our goal of participating in the competition, which is to gain experience and train soft skills and hard skills and think that winning is a bonus. The important thing is that we do our best first."

The FEB UGM Academic Community congratulates the Gasgus Team for their proud achievement! Hopefully, it will continue encouraging enthusiasm to carve the following accomplishments.
