Ad Students Present their Work on Southwest Airlines 
Jacob Brescherer, Emma Hunsaker, and Courtney Parmalee, were chosen by the advertising agency, VML in Kansas City, to present their work on Southwest Airlines. These Gaylord College students were chosen from the account planning class, travelled to Kansas City and discussed their work on Friday, December 6. They presented the strategy development project which included secondary research, a competitive review, store checks, professional detective interviews, consumer/user interviews, focus groups, ethnography, mini-sagas, a consumer journey, study of Influencers, a benefits matrix, an opportunity index, maps, and a SWOT analysis.
Competition was tough. Jeremy Franklin, a Gaylord grad and VML strategic planner, said it was hard to make a decision, "all the work had merit."
