Lady Panthers garnered First Place with their campaign entitled 4 Years 4 You. (L to R) Itzel Bernabe, Kaitlyn Sutton, Courtney Goff and Gracie Allgood.
A record number of design students participated in this year’s Louisville Advertising Federation High School Marketing Challenge! Altogether, PRP had three teams: The Lady Panthers, PRP Learn, and PRP Creative. The topic for the challenge focused on the importance of a four-year college degree. Spalding University was the sponsor and “client” for the challenge. Students were tasked with creating ad campaigns which included bus shelters, radio spots, blogs, videos and social media plans.
Each team created presentations that showcased their research, multifaceted creative approaches, and a written rationale for their work and presented their campaigns to a panel of judges from Louisville’s advertising community. The challenge was open to all Louisville area public and parochial high schools.
PRP excelled this year, and I couldn’t be more proud of these students! Great job, team!!!
