April 12, 2006
Students from Morningside College’s Creative Edge Advertising Club will unveil their multi-media advertising campaigns for the Cadillac National Case Study on Friday, April 21, at 12 p.m. in the Randolph Room of the Olsen Student Center, 3609 Peters Avenue. The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside’s Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS) and Friday is Writing Day.
This year’s assignment was to develop a multi-media branding campaign to bring a specific target market to the Cadillac brand. Four teams of five students each developed different advertising campaigns for Cadillac. One campaign, developed by the Morningside team Car Ram Rod, was selected by a local committee for submission in the national judging, which will be conducted by EdVenture Partners of Orinda, Calif., who sponsored the contest. The tag line for the campaign developed by team Car Ram Rod is “The Cadillac of…” and is completed with several words including “Technology,” “Innovation,” “Safety,” and “Hope.”
The selection committee included advertising executives Tom Elsen, vice president for marketing at American Pop Corn Company in Sioux City; Jeff Gordon, owner of J.D. Gordon Design of Sioux City; and Jan Swanson, agency services coordinator for Blue Earth Marketing in Winnebago, Neb.
Two campaigns from both undergraduate and graduate team submissions from across the country will be announced as winners on April 28. The teams will be invited to present their campaigns at the Cadillac headquarters in Detroit, Mich., on May 25.
Students on the team of Car Ram Rod include: Brice Farley, senior from Woodbine, Iowa; Nikki Kent, senior from Sioux City; Maria Thietje, senior from Sioux City; Megan Wunsch, junior from Garner, Iowa; and Zachary Zalewski, senior from Lincoln, Neb.
