Every year the Department of Fine Arts participates in the
American Advertising Competition, in cooperation with the
Advertising and Marketing Departments of the College of Business
Administration and the College of Professional Studies. The
students, operating as an advertising agency, work to market and
sell a product or service. From market research to storyboards and
budgets, the students acquire a thorough and professional
experience.
St. John's has earned an award winning reputation in The
American Advertising Competition. Over the years, we have held a
"powerhouse" position in the Northeast Regional Competition,
placing first, in four out of five years, with campaigns for
Chevrolet Cavalier, an original magazine idea, American Airlines,
and Visa. St. John's has also placed in the top five for the
National Competition, giving us a very prominent position and a
well deserved reputation of excellence.
