The Bruin Advertising & Marketing Team. That’s our business-y name, when we want to sound all professional and adult-like. You can call us Ad Team.

It’s hard to tell from the name, but we are a team that makes ads. Each year some big scary corporation like Coca-Cola or Toyota sponsors a nation-wide competition. We create an entire ad campaign for the client. We’re talking billboards, print ads, commercials, promotional events. The whole shebang. Over 150 other schools compete in this event, otherwise known as the National Student Advertising Competition. When it’s all said and done, only one school is left standing.
Our job is to be that school. But we don’t just compete. We learn. We get real experience working on brands and working in teams. We create a full-blown presentation book and portfolio, making interviews cake. Employers say things like, “Wow,” and “Holy cow.”

We’re idea people. We’re word people. We’re design people. We like art with strategy and fun with a motive.

Duh.

A secret family recipe of diligence and dilly-dallying.
