LSU Wins 2008 District 7 National Student Advertising Competition.

LSU placed first in the 2008 District 7 National Student Advertising Competition held recently at the 2008 AAF-District 7 Spring Convention in Chattanooga.

Each year, a corporate sponsor provides a real-life case study outlining the history of a product and its current advertising situation. Student teams are charged with developing an integrated communications campaign, then pitching it to the client in front of a panel of judges. There is no better way to learn about the advertising campaign process than by actually developing a campaign for a real client.

AOL, a global leader in Web-based businesses, is the 2008 NSAC sponsor. The LSU student team will advance to the national competition as the AAF-7th District representative at the AAF 2008 Conference in June in Atlanta.

Gerald Bower Wins Bolton-MacVicar Award
Gerald Bower was awarded the Bolton-MacVicar Award at the 2008 AAF-7th District Spring Convention in Chattanooga.

The Bolton-MacVicar Award was named after 1967 7th District Governor Fred MacVicar and Jack Bolton, '67 President of Atlanta Advertising Club for establishing the first Student Advertising Competition in 1967. The competition was the result of the desire to provide a realistic learning experience for college advertising students.
