Faculty perspective

"As an active member of the Hire A Flyer networking program, I have always found it very rewarding to lend advice to graduating students who are interested in advertising. Given the opportunity to return to campus to work with students for an entire semester has been a dream come true. I plan to use this class to pass along my experiences during my career in advertising and provide realistic projects in a creative team format. They will explore how the world of advertising is expanding into new areas like social media and online streaming. My goal is to teach them to think strategically with their message as well as their designs. They will look at current advertising and debate what they feel is effective, ethical and successful campaigns. The class will learn to design in several areas of advertising including print, event marketing, television, in-store and online."
