About:
The Advertising Team at Texas Tech is a group of students selected by interview to compete in a national student advertising competition. The annual competition is put on by the American Advertising Federation and features a corporate client. The client (such as Glidden paints, Coca Cola, JCPenney, Yahoo, State Farm, just to name a few…) provides a case study outlining the history of its product and current advertising situation. The case study reflects a real world situation to challenge students' critical thinking abilities and creativity. Students must research the product and its competition, identify potential problems and develop an integrated communications campaign for the client. Each student team then "pitches" its campaign to a panel of judges in April.
Meetings:
- Every Tuesday evening in COMC 151.

About:
Tech PR is a student organization in the College of Media & Communication but it is open to all majors. What we do is find ways for our members to network with public relations professionals as well as help members build experience in the profession. In the spring, we host an annual trip to Dallas. During the first half of the trip we hold conference, which in the past has been at Southwest Airlines, and this gives our members a chance to get their resumes critiqued, participate in mock-interviews, and meet and network with professionals and alumni. The second part of our trip is to visit PR agencies and different companies. Last year we went to Fleishman-Hillard, Weber Shandwick, American Red Cross, Cotton Bowl and HCK2 Partners. Throughout the year, we have alumni networking events and community service opportunities. In addition, we have a student-run PR firm, RaiderComm, which works on campaigns for real clients. Each month we hold a meeting where we bring a guest from a different field of public relations to speak to our members. As an organization, we really focus on getting our members to be involved in everything and anything possible. If you have any questions, please email techpr.mcom@ttu.edu.
Upcoming Meetings:
All meetings are on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. room 075
