The Ad/PR Workshop (MCA 468) is the capstone course in CCNY’s Advertising & Public Relations Program. This undergraduate senior class enables pre-professional students to go deep into a single, semester-long assignment in partnership with an actual client – especially those with a public service, community based project. Workshop students break into “agency teams” to utilize research methods, analytical skills and to apply an organized and conscientious approach to solve actual marketing communications problems. By semester’s end, student teams transform their in-depth analysis into strategic communications plans to create, produce, and implement comprehensive communications campaigns that meet the client’s marketing objectives in service to the community.
Below are some recent clients and campaign-centered work:
