Inside View on NSAC

Temple University’s NSAC team did an amazing job finishing up their competition last week placing fourth out of fourteen teams who presented in front of the NY judges! That’s a great accomplishment for all students involved in the process. This week, I sat down with graduating Advertising-Art Direction student, Angela Lanza, to talk to her about NSAC in general and what it’s like to participate in the competition for future Temple students who may be interested in trying it out.

The Free Journal Project

I recently came across an amazing project developed by Kelly Clawson, a fellow advertising student here at Temple and President of the Temple Ad Club. The Free Journal Project is a socially based art project founded in providing free handcrafted journals, for all to use and enjoy. The project focuses on making journal keeping accessible and enjoyable while establishing a space for personal inspiration and creativity.

Temple Ad Club Careers in Communications Panel Discussion

So if you missed the panel discussion last Thursday on careers in communication, don’t worry I’ll catch you up on what you missed.
It was a pretty great event, hosted by Lori Wilson from NBC and featured speakers from a wide variety of places: LevLane, B101 radio station, Brownstein Group, Anne Klein Communications Group and MayoSeitz. A common theme of the discussion was the importance of networking:

TAC! join temple’s advertising club.

Temple Advertising Club (TAC) is a great club to get involved in! It offers you opportunities to learn about and interact with the real world of advertising, network, and make friends! I asked Kelly Reid, TAC’s Director of Communications about TAC, and this is what she relayed to me. Thank you Kelly!

Finch Brands: Business & Brand Evolution

Finch’s take on branding is that consumers want to invest themselves emotionally into a brand and it’s Finch’s job to make that make that connection happen. Getting ideas is easy, but getting clients and consumers to buy into them is the hard part.

A visit to Red Tettemer

We all know that joining TAC has many benefits. One of the main benefits is getting to visit real, and prominent ad agencies. Recently, TAC visited Red Tettemer, a mid-sized agency located right outside of Philadelphia. I got to talk about the visit with Michelle Dunst, 21, who actually set up the trip to the agency. Michelle is a TAC member studying advertising, and in the copywriting track.

Why should YOU be a TAC member? What does it have to offer?

Hi everybody! This week I got an inside perspective on what it’s like to be a member of TAC, and learned about some of the great things they do. Since I am not in TAC, I thought it would be helpful not only for myself, but for other students, to see what opportunities the organization has to offer. I conducted an interview with Lindsay Gallagher, age 23, and she had a very helpful and interesting perspective on this topic.

The current perspective of advertising. How YOU can help fix it.

I got word that TAC was having a guest speaker, so I went today to check it out. The speaker was Tom Czajkowski, who is an associate creative director at Carton Donofrio Partners in Baltimore. He had an interesting take on the advertising industry, and here’s a recap on what he touched upon.
