Student Campaign Examples
Incorporating the business community has become an integral part of the course and has allowed students to welcome representatives from various organizations into the classroom to field questions about their companies, products and customers - all in hopes of students being able to create the most effective advertisements to best fit the "client's" wants and needs.
Several local businesses have worked with our Advertising classes: More than Core Pilates, Behavioral Perspectives, Handlebars Cycling gym, and American Pride Security. Some have even awarded prizes to students creating the best Campaigns. Shown on the left is student Katie Victorson holding her ad and the Blackhawks tickets that the company presented her with!
