NSAC Competition

The Oklahoma State NSAC Team is back! 

The National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) is the most significant collegiate advertising competition in the nation. Every year, more than 2,000 college students gain real-world experience by creating a strategic advertising campaign for a corporate client. This year’s AAF client is Tinder, and our team is already hard at work conducting research to create an amazing campaign! We will develop a marketing plan and pitch our campaign to advertising professionals at the district competition in Oklahoma City. If we win our district, we will advance further to the regional and national level competitions. We have had amazing successes in the last few years— but this year, we're ready to win!

Our Goal and How You Can Help

We are so lucky the district competition is in our home state this year! All 17 team members will put their blood, sweat and tears into completing this campaign. Our goal is to raise $2,500 so each person can travel to Oklahoma City to support our presenters as they pitch our ideas to media professionals. Your gift of any amount will bring us closer to reaching this goal, and our team is counting on you to help us put our best foot forward at district competition! Your support with one of the giving levels located to the right will help us make our way there stress-free of financial worries. All gifts, no matter the size, will benefit us tremendously.

Thank you & go pokes!
