Says The best thing about Advertising Week from my perspective is the chance to be at the top level for a week. This is were you are immersed in the center of the largest city that is engulfed with ADs everyday, while being able to rub elbows with the industry’s finest. You are able to network with the best of the best.

Not many conferences are available to students where you are surrounded with the top name brands and the executives. You hear them first-hand talk about the innovation that their company is doing and what is in the works for their company’s future.

Get to experience what it’s like to actually work in the business. Says it’s a way for students to see if advertising is the field they want to go into. NYC is an advertising hub with all the advertisements everywhere. First time she’s been out of Ontario on her own. Says it’s a little nerve-racking, but she’s made friends along the way. “It’s cool to see how Toronto and New York compare.”
Says Daniel Belo
“I’ve had a really great time…I’ve found some of these sessions extremely informative. And on top of that I’ve really enjoyed seeing industry leaders and what they have to say about the various issues.” Can see the comparison between Toronto and NYC.
Says Emily Shelton
“I have found it really fun and interesting so far…I got some pretty good tips about the next time I do a radio ad so that’s going to have a direct and immediate impact on my work and how I buy media and create it.” Neat to see massive outdoor advertising campaigns in Times Square.

How does it feel in NYC? “Everything is just so vibrant and moving and there’s videos all over and people are yelling at you. It’s cool when you actually see it on TV and then actually come and be immersed in it.” Recommend this trip to future advertising students? “Absolutely. I’d recommend this trip to everybody. I like that you get to do whatever you want. You can go to whatever seminar you feel you want to go to. You can take your day off and just hang out, go to a Yankees game. So I like that chill factor part of it.” pg 15
