Putting it into action is something else. But following a scheduled discussion Thursday during the final Maryville City Council meeting of the year, a group of Northwest Missouri State University students may now get a chance to do both. </div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
The students are members of Northwest instructor Jacquie Lamer's advanced advertising strategies class, a capstone course for upper-level students that essentially functions as an advertising agency. Each fall, Lamer recruits a real-world client, and her students then spend the semester putting together a comprehensive marketing campaign designed to meet the firm's corporate goals. Past "customers" have included United Missouri Bank, Kansas City's Union Station, Kansas City Power & Light Co. and John Deere. </div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
This year's client was the city of Maryville, which engaged the students to come up with ways to better brand and market Mozingo Lake, a 3,000-acre recreation area and golf course east of town with a 1,000-acre reservoir that serves as the city's primary water supply. The class' campaign presentation on Dec. 5 was so well received that the city is now considering having the students implement their ideas after they return to campus next month for the start of the spring term. </div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
In a memo to the council issued prior to its Thursday meeting, City Manager Greg McDanel said the students would essentially function as the "marketing arm" for Mozingo and work directly with city officials to organize a "re-opening" event in early April. McDanel said other potential student activities will include design and placement of lake advertising, creation of brochures and billboards, social media planning, signage improvements and merchandising. </div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
Cost to the city for "hiring" the student marketers is estimated at $1,400, which Lamer said is needed to cover mileage, copy costs, Internet fees and other expenses. However, funding for marketing and advertising materials themselves is a separate and much pricier item. During their initial presentation to the city, the students estimated that a locally targeted advertising and rebranding effort focused on print, billboards, digital outreach and broadcast media would cost around $24,000. Their projection also predicted additional campaign-driven park revenue of $40,000 for a net profit to the city of approximately $16,000. </div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
In addition to the re-opening celebration, student-led Mozingo branding activities to be carried out during the spring semester include a new lake brochure; billboards; a "template" system for future advertising; implementation of a consistent digital presence with regard to web directories, online maps and GPS systems; and preparation of a social media plan. Website development is not part of the class project, though the city hopes to have a new site, mozingolake.com, built and operating early in 2013 with student-created marketing content. </div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
Selling Mozingo as a regional recreation and tourist destination has been a priority for the council for a couple of years and is a special priority of Mayor Glenn Jonagan In 2011, the city paid IDM Group $20,000 to conduct a feasibility study in connection with a proposed lodge and banquet facility at the lake, a report that described existing marketing efforts as unfocused and inconsistent. The Northwest students drew a similar conclusion, noting in their initial report that lake activities — golf, fishing, RV camping and the like — are represented by eight different logos. Other advertising and marketing efforts, they said, have comprised a hodgepodge of websites and social media containing broken links, indifferent photography and outdated information.</div>

The Spring 2012 client was UMB bank, where we focused on their mobile banking services. Students researched mobile banking issues, bank advertising, potential targets and more, and then prepared two different ad campaign concepts.<br />
<br />
The presentation was held at UMB's headquarters in downtown Kansas City, where a panel of UMB marketing executives critiqued the student's work. The lively panel of professionals really did a nice job providing both real, hard feedback and a very pleasant and fun environment. In fact, on the spot the bank agreed to use some of the ideas presented!<br />
<br />
Keep your eyes on UMB.com's home page... when you see the whale, you'll see one of the team's ideas. The other concept is promotion-based, so will not be so easy to track. But, any information we have will be posted here.<br />

To say the least, this was a real challenge for the students. Not only did they have to learn about the nation's monetary system, they also had to learn about the constraints of the education system, as the target for this campaign was middle school teachers in the greater Kansas City area.<br /><br />The focus of the campaign was the bank's Money Musuem, and our goal was to increase visits. The class presented a series of integrated ideas, from events to direct mail to social media and, yes, even advertising.<br /><br />At this writing, it's still early, but the bank has told us that they intend to use several class ideas. I'll post updates to this as they evolve.<br /><a title="View Plans Book Proof on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/54710141/Plans-Book-Proof" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">Plans Book Proof -- Scroll Down to see 1st Page!</a><iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/54710141/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-1lw347l54os6tv3b4iz1" data-auto-height="false" data-aspect-ratio="0.772727272727273" scrolling="no" id="doc_73827" width="410" height="470" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><a title="View The Federal Reserve Bank on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/54384898/The-Federal-Reserve-Bank" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">The Federal Reserve Bank</a><iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/54384898/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-1apg1rxy298j4kb6l38q" data-auto-height="false" data-aspect-ratio="1.2938689217759" scrolling="no" id="doc_30167" width="410" height="380" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><br />The photo story:<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5qD8InggK8U" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="329" width="420"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/113115112730442812779/AdvAdvSpring2011KCFRB?authkey=Gv1sRgCJn5_sb-q6LpKg&feat=directlink"><span>See all photos from this course here.</span></a>J.

The idea is to replicate a real work environment as much as is possible for a college course. To this end, we work with one real client the entire semester, solving real issues related to integrated marketing, advertising, internet publishing, and promotions. Classes are run like business meetings, and students are assigned to both a research team and an implementation team.<br /><br />The course is taught by Jacquie Lamer, instructor in the Mass Communication department. Kevin Fullerton, owner of Springboard Creative advertising agency in Kansas City, Kan., is a consultant to the class and students. Kevin, who also serves as president of the <a href="http://www.kcadclub.com/">AAF-KC</a>, not only attends at least four of the 16 class sessions, he also helps students via telephone and email. Because of Kevin's creative experience and his genuine interest in helping students, most retain Kevin as a mentor for years after the class.<br /><br />Throughout the semester, students first develop their research, and then their creative ideas. Several weeks are spent researching the client, the industry, the product and the target audience. From there, students prioritize issues, then plan, and ultimately build, solutions. By the end of the course, the students will have gone through the entire campaign process for a real client, and present their work to the client at the client's headquarters. Typically, their work consists of all aspects of marketing communication: advertising, internet marketing, social media, direct mail, promotions, search engine optimization, web usability, and essentially any relevant solution the students think will be of value to the client.<br /><br />The class is intense and a strain on both a student's time and team-building abilities. But in the end, they all have a very strong portfolio piece, and some substantial interview talking points!J.

The client that year was the Matrix automobile. Our students worked hard to compete among 13 regional university entries. I was proud that they placed 11th; afterall this was our first attempt, and we were up against schools that had up to 10 times as many students, and thousands of dollars in funding.<br /><br />We tried the AAF's competition one more year, this time the effort was organized around a "special offering" course. The client was Florida tourism, and the class had a strong showing, placing 8th in the regional competition.<br /><br />From these experiences, it was obvious that the competition was not for us. It was too expensive, and too rigid, not allowing us to weave in all of the curriculum items we'd wanted (like media planning, search engine optimization, etc.).<br /><br />That's when the concept was turned into a full-fledged course and integrated into the curriculum for Advertising and IDM majors.J.
