Manship digital advertising students have won the regional round of the National Student Advertising Competition in Johnson City, Tenn., for the second year in a row. They will move on to the semi-finals, where eight schools will be chosen for the finals in Anaheim, Calf., in June. The American Advertising Federation sponsors the competition.

The Ä¢¹½tv students developed an integrated marketing campaign for Snapple, this year’s corporate client for more than 200 university chapters around the country. The Ä¢¹½tv team competed against schools in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. Also during the regional competition, Paige Roberts, a native of Montgomery, Texas, was named best presenter, and Ä¢¹½tv AdFed president Hannah Alkadi, a native of Baton Rouge, won the Jan Gardner Memorial Scholarship, which recognizes academically talented students in advertising-related disciplines, helping them complete their undergraduate education. Professors Yongick Jeong and Jennifer Macha advised the team.
