Advertising: Trace a Campaign
Wednesday, Feb 3rd, 5:00 PM

Did you see that Commercial?  I love it. How was that commercial or print ad or campaign created?
The creative minds at Fusebox will explain the structure of a campaign
from its early beginnings to its full blown stage. You'll see who comes up with ideas and how,
who sells them, who buys them?, who researches the target and plans the
strategy and you'll also see the ideas that should have made it but never
did. Instead they died a slow death, perhaps there's still life in them today.
Do you want to get a firsthand look at the world of Advertising?  Now is your chance!
