Advertising Futures Competition

Just a reminder, there is a meeting today for everyone interested in the advertising futures competition after school today.

In addition we will be going down to findr Interactive on Monday after school due to Yom Kippur. Come see me later today for a trip form.

Here is a print ad I found online:

See below for the email from Luba:

Hi Paul,

So great to meet you and your team. Very much looking forward to working
together.

We have researched some stories that highlight the issues the RFP asks to
address. Please find the link below. I think it will be helpful for your
students to take review as it brings the problem to life.

If you feel it's appropriate, please pass the link along to your class.

I think it will be best to have our meeting on either Thursday afternoon, or
the following Monday. Friday is Yum Kippur and I will have to leave the
office a bit earlier.
Our office can accommodate about 12 people in the conference room, so you
are welcome to bring additional students if you'd like.

For our meeting I want to make sure that everyone has read through and
thought about the RFP. It would be great if each student can prepare their
questions and at least one idea on how they would tackle this campaign. We
will then guide their ideas and select the best one for execution. I would
also ask they think about which advertising campaign they like best, overall
in the general market. This will enable me to use comparisons and parallels
to guide their ideas.

The ad will be prepared in either Adobe Illustrator or Coral Draw.

Please confirm which date works best for you.

Thank you.

Best,



Luba Tolkachyov
VP, Advertising
