Cosmic Bowling

My first chance to try out my new Canon 7D was in a dark bowling alley. Got a chance to see what the 6400 ISO could do for me. I can't wait to really sink my teeth into this camera.

This Weeks Finds

This week I found a 1950's typewriter in perfect condition (with original 1957 receipt in tow) at a local auction here in Boise.

I also found this cute little retro fan at a garage sale just down the street. Don't they look cute together! 

Marketing Class Wins Best Presentation Award

A team of Boise State students, under adviser and adjunct marketing professor Jay Longwell, placed third in the Region XI National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) held recently in Boise. The team won the People’s Choice award for best presentation and took third place overall.

Students competed against teams from nine other universities, including the University of Oregon and Washington State University, which took first and second place respectively. This year’s corporate sponsor was State Farm.

NSAC is the American Advertising Federation’s premier college advertising competition, providing more than 3,000 college students with real-world experience by requiring a strategic advertising/marketing/media campaign for a corporate sponsor. Schools from each district are selected to present their campaigns to a panel of industry executives.

COBE Marketing Team Takes 2nd Place in National Competition

Boise State competed at the District 11 National Student Advertising Competition in Spokane, WA last Friday, April 17. The team placed second overall, and received awards for “Best Presentation”, “Best PR Program” and “Best Graphics”. Boise State competed with nine other universities from Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana.

The eight student team consisted of: David Andrews, Sara Byrne, Jamie Chaffin, Lisa Frazier, Sarah Gridley, Kamile Ishiyama, Evan Nolevanko, and Jennifer Stemple.

The National Student Advertising Competition is the premier college advertising competition. It provides more than 3,000 college students with real-world experience by requiring a strategic advertising/marketing/media campaign for a corporate sponsor. Schools receiving first place from each district competition are selected to present their campaigns to a panel of industry executives at the American Advertising Federation National Conference.

This year’s corporate sponsor was, The Century Counsel, a group of distillers fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. This year’s mission was to create a campaign targeted towards college students to help combat the binge drinking problem that is so prevalent on college campuses today. Boise State accomplished this with the “Retool Your Reality” Campaign, which communicates a disconnect between student perceptions and reality.

Judges, who were advertising executives from around the west, were thoroughly impressed with the “Retool Your Reality” Campaign, and the difference between 1st and 2nd place (Portland State and Boise State) was within a point. Congratulations to the team and their astounding performance!
