COM Advertising Students Excel at the Young Ones Creative Awards
Honors
COM students brought home 11 Young Ones Student Awards last week in one of the world’s top student advertising competitions -- all but one of them for advertising briefs, placing Boston University fourth in the category among schools in the world.
COM’s Yue (Yvonne) Wang and Rujie (Mia) Lin earned a “Gold Pencil,” the top award in their category in a video for Lays, “Open to Share.”
A “Gold Cube” was awarded to COM’s Alex Chapman and Henry Kruell for their poster series for Amtrak, “The Beauty In Between.”
“We bring creative work to life and match up against students from the world over,” said Doug Gould, professor of the practice for advertising. “The creative world should know there is talent from BU's College of Communication waiting to arrive at your doorstep, work hard, and write, build, design amazing things.”
The awards, sponsored by the One Club for Creativity since 1986, attracts hundreds of applicants from 17 different countries.
