Temple Ad Club

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!

More than a religion, more than a consumer.

What do you think of when you hear Muslim? …Islam?

Well, according to a study performed by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, 35% of Americans view Muslims in a negative light. Another 45% believe Islam to be more of a violent religion than any other.

Temple University Portfolio Night!

The Temple Advertising Club (TAC) will be having a Portfolio Night open to students both in the creative and accounting tracks. There will be advertising professionals from all over Philadelphia including ad agencies Razorfish, Dudnyk and LevLane. Don’t miss out on a great chance to network and get professional feedback about your creative pieces!

Activia Campaign by Young & Rubicam

Okay, so Activia has a new campaign that just launched, developed by Young & Rubicam. They are an agency based out of Prague, Czech Republic.

I’m sure that they were going for a concept that they wanted to really spark an interest among society towards this apparent problem, I think they just pissed a few people off though.

As the end of the semester approaches, TAC is proud to be hosting a series of fun events.

There are a lot of great things in store for TAC! The next few weeks are a crucial time to attend meetings and events; you will not want to miss out. Several guest speakers haven presented at TAC meetings, and more are to come. A radio production company will be speaking at a meeting this month.

OGILVY!!

TAC is very very excited. That is because Ogilvy comes to visit us tomorrow! This is an amazing agency from New York, and will allow students in advertising an even more amazing opportunity. Ogilvy will be holding an information/recruting session in Tuttleman room 300 A/B from 5-6:15. You do not have to be in TAC to attend! This advertising agency is known for being fun and non-traditional. It will provide students the chance to see what the agency is all about, and whether or not they are interested in applying for Ogilvy internships.

TAC Meetings

Yesterday, TAC members got to enjoy a Q&A panel about internships from its very own members. The panel was very informative and diverse. From internships in Philly, to Chicago, and even Australia, the insights were invaluable. A few tips I picked out:
