AdSchool students take out Student Newspaper Campaign of the Year and Student Topical Ad

AdSchool students from Media Design School have taken out Student Newspaper Campaign of the year and Student Topical Ad.

Says Kate Humphries, AdSchool head: “Clearly our students have been keeping a keen eye on the news this year because they’ve managed to take out both the winning and runner up spot for the student campaign of the year and all three topical places”.

The Student Campaign of the Year was won by Heathcliff Hall and Shahid Kasuji, and the runner up spot by Janssen Chen and Joaquina Rockwell. Both campaigns, which explored the relationship between newspaper reading and public transport, won after going through two rounds of judging and can be viewed here.

Rockwell together with Liam Crerar, took out both the 3rd place topical and the winning topical ad (which linked Apple’s iconic ‘think different’ campaign and iconic rainbow logo with America’s announcing its legalisation of same sex marriage). The runner up spot for topical went to Steve Charlton and Ezra Whall.

Says Humphries: “Congratulations to all the students and a big thank you to Kirsty Atkins and Georgina Davies for organising the brief, the briefing and the two rounds of judging. We’d also like to give a big shout out to MDS AdSchool graduate, Christie Cooper, who together with her partner James Conner, won the industry big one-The Newspaper Ad of the Year- for their Reverse April Fool’s Day ad, an ad which has given this year’s students a severe dose of idea envy.”
