National Student Advertising Competition
The National Student Advertising Competition is an annual competition for college students to create a full campaign for a real client. Members of the UIUC NSAC team include researchers, strategists, creatives, media personnel, and designers, and come from a wide array of majors and grade levels. Each year, the efforts of our NSAC team members culminate in a full presentation in front of real clients and agency judges. From its open and holistic approach to the development of a full campaign, NSAC is often called the most true-to-the-industry experience a student can participate in outside of real agency work.
NSAC membership involves an application process that opens in the beginning of each semester. If you are interested in joining the team, please reach out to any executive board member.

Our Work
Indeed
Indeed is so much more than a job board. Indeed is a hub of knowledge to learn about career fields, get honest advice on how to talk about your experience, and feel prepared and empowered in your job hunt. This campaign highlighted these features of Indeed and garnered our team a 2nd place win at the district Level.
Meta Quest 2
Meta Quest 2 breaks the unique barriers that cage college students in. Our goal for the campaign was to get college students to see the Quest 2 essential and coveted tech and we did this by highlighting the ability of the device to break barriers and this campaign placed 3rd at the district level.
