TAI Students Invited to One Show Competition and Creative Week in NYC

Temerlin Advertising Institute professors Cheryl Mendenhall and Dev Gupta will be taking 10 of  TAI’s creative advertising students to New York City May 5 – 9 to participate in The One Show, which is part of the city’s annual Creative Week.

The One Show is considered one of the most prestigious awards shows in advertising, and it’s coveted Pencil award has been the ultimate achievement in many creatives’ careers. Every year, a panel of 30 creatives from around the world gather for a week and judge nearly 20,000 entries in categories including print, television, billboards and radio. Only the best of the best make the cut—Gold, Silver and Bronze Pencils are given out to fewer than 100 entries every year.

Current TAI senior, Monika Hoang, will receive one of these coveted Pencil awards for her “Guantanamo by the Numbers” infographic during The One Show’s Young Ones awards on Tuesday, May 7. Ms. Hoang will also be recognized for two other pieces of work, “The Global Refugee Crisis” and “Comparing Values,” both of which she received a merit for.

TAI creative students who will be attending the festival include Paul Curry, Kevin Do, Benjamin (Taylor) Foran, Monika Hoang, Nicole Hodges, Alex Jarzemsky, Mackenzie Keck, Sarah Mamlouk, Katie Sarah Roberts, and Gabe Towels.

SMU Students Provide Marketing Plan for Amy Kate Gardens

Five Temerlin Advertising Institute students created a marketing plan in their Integrated Marketing Communications course that their class client, Amy Kate Gardens, is implementing into their current business plan. The students, Mira Suarsana, Belle Riley, Briana O’Connor, Adella Winder and Leigh Groeschell, were under the direction of Associate Professor Yongjun Sung.

During the Fall semester, five groups of students in the Integrated  Marketing  Communications Class created a marketing plan for Amy Kate Gardens, a Southlake – based  company that helps individuals create personalized miniature gardens and at home parties.

Amy Kate brought in a panel of industry professionals to judge the groups’ presentations and choose a winner. “The winning team was a truly impressive group. They came up with a number of recommendations for Amy Kate. In fact, many of their ideas were immediately incorporated into Amy Kate’s planning,” reports Dr. Sung. “For example, based on their suggestion, Amy Kate did purchase D Mom Magazine for its first advertising this spring. Also, Amy Kate changed its brand positioning based on our students’ analysis. Per their request, Amy Kate hired a professional PR firm to implement their suggestions.”

“We were so impressed with the creativity and depth of knowledge that the SMU  Communications students brought to the project,“ says Bill Chinn,  an SMU Executive MBA  graduate, who owns Amy Kate Gardens.
