AMA is a great way to network with marketing students and professionals and gain practical experience.<\/p>\n<p>This year we took on a unique challenge for our chapter. We entered AMA\u2019s national website competition. The task was to create a website for our chapter that will be evaluated on aesthetics, content, functionality and engagement. With help from the business department, we bought a domain name and launched a WordPress site. With the continued growth of digital marketing and the need for professionals in this area, this was a great opportunity for AMA members to develop their website design and content writing skills. We broke up into teams and got to work. With about a month to work on the site, it was a whirlwind of activity. We went from sketches of the homepage on paper to a fully functioning website within weeks. I would say everyone involved learned a lot and was able to walk away with something to talk about on resumes and in job interviews.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-218\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page.jpg\" alt=\"AMA Website Home Page\" width=\"1085\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page.jpg 1085w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-1024x573.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1085px) 100vw, 1085px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-219\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-2.jpg\" alt=\"AMA Website Home Page 2\" width=\"1030\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-2.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-2-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/AMA-Website-Home-Page-2-1024x622.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Grove City College\u2019s business and entrepreneurship departments are expanding their offering of classes on digital marketing and data analytics.
