3960 Adv What Happened in Class

Thurs., Dec. 3

Today we turned in the radio script and Part A of the Account Management assignment.

The instructor introduced the last assignment, which is to design an outdoor board or visual display. Toward that end, the instructor showed students a .ppt that featured various kinds of outdoor boards and displays. As a class, we determined what the client was selling (in terms of a unique selling proposition).

Next we broke into brainstorming groups. The instructor went over the highlights of how such a group works (no idea is a bad idea). Students worked with their colleagues to work out possible display ideas.

Next class:

Readings
Work on outdoor display concept
