We are Circle Advertising. We are the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) team at Chapman. We are members of Chapman Ad Club. We get students addicted to advertising.

Thursday night, October 28, 2010. Marion Knott Studios.

It was truly an amazing experience to meet our peers from across the country, and find out there were other students just as hard-working and advertising-crazed as ourselves. The chance to network and make new friends was unforgettable, and the national win was just the icing on the proverbial cake. It was also great to hear feedback from client judges, who loved everyone’s creativity. They really believe in our generation to use our creativity towards solving the problems of the 21st century.

Lastly, Ad Club would like to thank all of the friends and family who have supported us since the start. We’ve received everything from a shoulder to cry on, to a plane ticket across the country, and for these things we are very grateful.

I encourage you to view some of the photos in our album, taken by Zachary Reusing, for more insight into the excitement at the conference.

2010 N.S.A.C. team after their second consecutive D15 win

We’re off to the 2010 AAF National Conference to compete in the National Student Advertising Competition. After a successful district-level competition, where we presented our feelFREE campaign for client State Farm, we are headed to Orlando to compete against 16 of the top advertising programs in the country. This competition looks to be as hot as the Florida humidity, and we’re going to ‘Bang it Out’ one more time. Last year, the Chapman N.S.A.C. team brought home a 4th place title nationally, as well as a Getty Image Award for best use of imagery in a campaign. It’s a great reflection on the Chapman academic and creative community; wish us luck! For results, check back soon, or better yet, follow us on Twitter. We love a good live tweet.
