The National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) team is looking for a few good men and women for the spring competition. You need a competitive streak and a commitment to forgo Spring Break for a shot at a second national championship.
NSAC is the premier student advertising competition in the country with more than 150 schools participating. Schools develop a complete marketing plan from an actual case study for a national brand. This year, the client is Snapple.
UNL teams have won the district competition for six of the last seven years and moved on to nationals where students competed against other finalists. In the last four years, students traveled to Austin, Phoenix and Boca Raton, where they finished in the Top Ten, ranking 1st, 9th and 8th in the nation. In the years before the 2012 national championship, UNL ranked 4th and 7th in the nation. That’s five top-ten finishes in the last six years, and we need talented students to help maintain that excellence. The competition provides great networking opportunities and many participants have moved on to top jobs in the industry.
This year’s client is Snapple. You may apply as account planners/interactive strategists, research, graphic/interactive designers, copywriters, videographers, media, etc. You are welcome to apply for multiple positions but please make sure the work you submit reflects your area of interest.
If you are talented, motivated, and able to work within an advertising agency structure please send a single PDF doc or a link to your website including a cover letter detailing what contributions you would make to the agency and at least one reference with contact information to Michael Goff: mgoff1@unl.edu
Hardcopy applications and portfolios can be dropped off to Michael Goff in 327 Andersen 147 or in the main office, 147 Andersen. Deadline is Sep. 14. Later, you’ll receive additional information about joining our Facebook page, “2016 UNL NSAC/Snapple.”
For now, contact Brendon Henning (402.310.7243) to be added to the NSAC 2016 interest group.
Good luck, and thanks for your interest in NSAC.
Michael Goff and Rich Bailey
