PRSSA Student Campaign Team Wins Regional Competition and $1,000 for PRSSA
A team of PR majors and Sammie Lynn Puett PRSSSA chapter members (Taylor Griffin, Bonnie Willard, Meghan Slater, Victoria Kisluk, and Jessica Stephens) recently won a campaigns competition sponsored by global PR agency Fleishman-Hillard. The team won the regular season contest and $1,000 for the PRSSA chapter by developing a plan for the Buffalo Wild Wings’ “Home Court Advantage” campaign that promoted the restaurant as the place to watch college basketball. The students’ campaign generated remarkable increases in revenue according to an Account Executive at Fleishman-Hillard who said, “I would like to thank the [UTK] team for the level of professionalism it showed throughout the campaign. You were a joy to work with, and you showed PR prowess above and beyond our expectations.”
