Creativity in Marketing

Some lucky students were given a strong dose of, and lesson in CREATIVITY on Friday. Blake Hadley, an award-winning advertising professional, came to share his experience and some of his marketing campaigns with Mrs. Jacobson’s marketing class. Blake, a BYU graduate with a degree in Creative Advertising and a minor in Graphic Design, shared ideas with students to stimulate their creative juices. His message? Creativity can be learned! Marketing students will have a chance to develop ads as part of their promotional campaign assignment. Mr. Hadley has been the recipient of multiple advertising awards and even had one of his designs used on a McDonald’s© Happy Meal bag. He currently runs a social media marketing firm called My Social Practice. Students were grateful for his knowledge and the time he spent with them to help increase their knowledge and skills in marketing.
