According to a report from Online Media Daily, the student team from Ohio University has won the National Student Advertising Competition. I wrote recently about Emerson College’s proposal, which I thought was damn fine. As I noted in my post, victory by a competing team (there were 17) means there are a lot of millenials studying communications who intuitively understand the integration of new and old media.

The Online Media Daily article notes that the winning team “add(ed) tabs to the currently existing AOL buddy list. Each tab would link directly to a different Web site, representing the new facets they wanted to add to enhance AOL’s social media capabilities.”

I still think the Emerson team put together a stellar proposal. Professor Douglas Quintal tells me the winning team’s proposal is videotaped and that he’ll share a video of one of Emerson’s dry runs with me. I’ll post here when I get them.

Congratulations to all the teams for making it to the finals and to Ohio University for a winning entry.
