The Mediterranean College of Sport (MCS) and Hudson Group, a renowned international retailer and distributor specialising in sportswear, officially announced their partnership at a special event held at the Sports Pavilion, St Aloysius College.
This collaboration signifies a groundbreaking alliance that merges academic prowess and sporting accomplishment.
The highlight of the event was the premiere of a captivating promotional video produced by local media company Born Bold, which captures the essence of the MCS-Hudson Group partnership.
The video clip will be used for the second part of the student recruitment campaign. This cutting-edge visual masterpiece embodies both parties’ shared vision of delivering unrivalled sporting experiences and academic opportunities.
MCS chairperson, Pio Vassallo, and MCS CEO, Charlo Bonnici, addressed the media event sharing the latest updates about MCS.
