Brand Roast – Pitch It or Roast It

Brand Roast is a marketing-themed entertainment competition focused on humorously critiquing well-known brands with genuine business and marketing insights. Participants demonstrate their understanding of branding, advertising, customer perception, and innovation. The event features two rounds: Round 1, 'Prepared Brand Roast' (4 minutes), where teams are assigned a brand beforehand to deliver a humorous roast with improvement ideas.

Round 2, 'Spin the Brand Challenge' (2 minutes prep + 2 minutes performance), involves an impromptu roast of a surprise brand. The competition is conducted offline on-campus across two rounds, with a total duration of approximately 2.5 hours. Strict adherence to time limits and rules against personal, political, or defamatory comments is required.
