Advertising Students tour GSD&M

On Tuesday 3/1/16, Lake Travis High School students from Mrs. Oates Advertising class were able to tour GSD&M.  Megan Sul, Recruitment Coordinator, introduced the ad agency which is headquartered in Austin.  Her presentation and special Q&A with the students peaked their interest in advertising careers.  A special feature was visiting GSD&M's back lot where their client the U.S. Air Force had a fighter jet and  learning lab displayed.  They will be using this new advertising campaign to attract high school students to join the armed forces. 
 
Students also met Jen Buschhorn from the School of Journalism & Mass Communications at Texas State University in San Marcos regarding a future degree in Advertising.
