OU national advertising team seeks applicants for prestigious NSAC competition Upcoming3
The National Student Advertising Competition team is seeking applicants for the spring team. 

NSAC is the premier student competition with over 150 schools participating. Schools develop a complete marketing plan from an actual case study for a national brand and present their plan at districts in Dallas, Texas.

If successful, students advance to nationals at the American Advertising Federation's convention in Las Vegas.

This year's client is Pizza Hut. We are seeking applicants for account planners/interactive strategists, research, graphic/interactive designers, copywriters, cinematographers and media.

NSAC is a capstone course and can substitute for the ad campaigns course.

If you are talented, motivated and able to work within an advertising agency structure contact Phil Willet, pwillet@ou.edu, for application information.
