CreateAthon onCampus will be a 24-hour, work-around-the-clock creative blitz during Spring Break, 2008. During this event, VCU Mass Communication students will produce marketing and creative services for selected area non-profits. Each student team will be partnered with local advertising, design or marketing professionals who will mentor the students’ work, ensuring high-quality and effective materials.
CreateAthon onCampus is the student expansion of RIGGS’ national CreateAthon event. This annual program is a 24-hour creative blitz for professional agencies held in September. During CreateAthon, advertising agencies across the country generate marketing and advertising services for their area nonprofits on a pro-bono basis.
