Advertising Undergrads Count Accomplishments

The School of Mass Communications congratulates its undergraduate creative-advertising students who, after receiving a number of regional Addy awards last month, were recognized again in the higher level of the competition at the Third District Addys.

VCU recent graduates Alyssa Collis and Erin Martin won the Student Best of Show award for their Nutella ads designed as a magazine campaign. The award represents the best work among all student entries.

Student Special Judges Award went to VCU senior Chip Stevens and recent graduate Kyle Asay for their McCanns Oatmeal ads.

The American Advertising Federation District 3 Addy awards recognize student and professional work from Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. All entries that receive gold and silver Addy awards on the district level compete for national recognition.

The national award ceremony this year will be in Atlanta, Ga., on Tuesday, June 10.
