Jacht Agency is excited to announce its student crew for spring. This semester, there are 52 “Jachters,” who represent returning and new students from different backgrounds and majors at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL).
Jacht Ad Agency, UNL’s student-run advertising agency through the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, provides students with real-world experience as they work with a variety of clients on brand strategy, public relations, multimedia, design and more.
Jacht allows students to improve their skills and develop their expertise throughout the semester. Often, students may return to Jacht to discover more opportunities and take on leadership roles.
Hannah-Kate Kinney, a returning “Jachter,” will serve as the Director of Multimedia this semester. In this role, Kinney will help ensure clients receive the highest quality of photos, videos, and animations.
“Jacht has helped me grow in my confidence as a leader,” Kinney said. “Working here has provided a great opportunity to collaborate with my peers as we become the next generation of media professionals.”
Students work with real-world clients and have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the business. Clients this semester include Nebraska Department of Transportation, Mourning Hope, Backyard Farmer and more. Jacht continues to encourage a culture where students can have the opportunity to collaborate, network, and strengthen client relationships.
