Each year the National Student Advertising Competition, hosted by the American Advertising Federation, challenges students to fulfill a brief for a client brand. The student teams then pitch their ideas in front of a panel of industry pros and the client. This year’s campaign focused on Tai Pei, a brand of frozen Asian food.
Arrowhead beat out teams from University of Miami, University of Florida, University of South Florida, and Ringling Art College to name a few.
“When advertising professionals recognize the excellent creative work that our students produce, it showcases the talent, dedication, and passion that our students possess,” said advertising professor Barry Solomon, “This award reflects the highest in creative achievement and I am so proud that these deserving students received this award.”
