Prior to the event, participating students had to “decode” fi ve marketing scenarios, one each centered around the FIFA World Cup, the New England Revolution, the New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium Concerts and the Patriot Place shopping, dining and entertainment complex. For example, one scenario asked students to develop strategies to increase “teen presence” at Patriot Place shops and restaurants. Another asked students to help drive lagging ticket sales for the third musical concert in a three-show booking at Gillette Stadium. Working in groups, students in grades 10-12 developed marketing strategies for one of the scenarios, giving them the chance to develop ideas on promotions, advertising, merchandising and outreach. They delivered their presentations to members of the Patriots Hall of Fame marketing team. “The [Hall of Fame] marketing coordinator said our students delivered the best highschool presentations they have ever seen,” said EHS Marketing Instructor Siobhan Sullivan. “They were impressed with the way our students dressed, their presentation style, and the professionalism they exhibited throughout the process.” All 70 Everett High marketCommunity Arts Night ’24 Everett students showcase a wide range of talents T he Everett Public Schools (EPS) hosted its annual Community Arts Night on Wednesday, May 8, giving students and faculty the chance to showcase the breadth and depth of the district’s visual arts, theater and dance programming.
