Proposal
Internet video gaming has the capability to be used as brand
marketing and recruitment tools. Playing video games through
competitive servers online, college students (or anyone) could test
their talents and win money. Brands and sponsors, could promote
their products while recruiting talented gamers. Money could be won
which could supplement an internship or on campus job. This would
bring a monetization to turning a college pastime into a viable career
in an ever growing market.
