Seventeen students were selected for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communication’s 2022 National Student Advertising Competition team.
For the competition, a client provides a brief outlining the history of its product and current challenge. Students research the company and its competition, identify potential problem areas and devise an integrated campaign for the client. In the spring, each student team pitches their campaign to a panel of judges.
This year’s client is the Meta Quest virtual reality headset technology, Quest 2.
The UNL National Student Advertising Competition Team is led by CoJMC lecturer Monte Olson, lecturer and founder of Bailey Lauerman Rich Bailey and lecturer and strategic brand consultant Diane Krajicek.
