Students: You’re probably asking yourself a lot of questions. Does my résumé paint the best picture of my skills and accomplishments? What should I include in my portfolio? What does it really mean to work in marketing or advertising or communications? What does it really look like to work for an agency versus “in-house” as part of a company’s marketing department?
Educators: Are you struggling to provide students with resources and connections as they move through their chosen major? Are you looking for industry experts to guest lecture throughout the semester to provide real-world insights to students? Need an extra set of eyes to review creative or writing portfolios for students?
Fear not. AAF-SD is proud to present Student Day 2024, where we will aim to Elevate what is possible for students as they visualize their future career.
Kick off the day with a choice of your first of two panel discussions specific to roles found throughout the marketing and advertising world: Creatives, Account Managers, Insights and Media. These panels include incredibly talented professionals from a wide range of industries as well as advertising agencies. These gurus will give students a firsthand account of their path to their current profession, the biggest lessons they’ve learned along the way and showcase the variety of ways students can expect to leverage their college experience as they enter the workforce full-time. There will also be headshots, resume and creative portfolio reviews, a catered lunch, a vendor fair all while ending the day with professional, moderated speed networking which will allow for one-on-one connection with professionals who can help answer students’ tough questions.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to network, learn, and grow. Elevate your career at Student Day!
