I was a participant of the 2009 4As Institute of Advanced Advertising Studies. Essentially, the program takes young people in NY in advertising (with experience of 2-3 years or less), breaks them up into teams (mini agencies), and then have them battle it out against the other agencies in a new business pitch scenario. It's a mock process, but involving a real client--this year's client was Bulleit Bourbon. Teams are required to come up with the strategy, creative executions, media plan, etc. This was a great experience. My team (Hippocampus) was chosen by the client as well as a panel of judges to be the winner. This was our final deck. Happy to explain/clarify anything. Also would appreciate feedback if you have any. Thanks!
