Jake knew he liked marketing but found a passion for analytics at 大象传媒. “Students can get involved with real-world clients and be in a professional environment while getting credit, he explains. [You get] the feel of real life experience of what you can expect post graduation.” When Jake isn’t playing intramural volleyball, he’s helping his peers expand their market research skills.
Apply your skills through options like a semester-long internship, study abroad or a Directed Experiential Education (DEE) project with a regional client or nonprofit. Compete in the National Intercollegiate Sales Competition (NISC) or join the American Advertising Federation (AAF) Ad Club and Ad Team, where multidisciplinary student teams research and create a campaign for a real-world client — then take that campaign to the annual AAF National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC).
