Top 3 in the nation!

National Student Advertising Competition team placed third nationally at the American Advertising Federation National Student Advertising Competition Finals after developing a fully integrated campaign for the NFL youth programs.

Out of 103 universities nationwide, our interdisciplinary team of advertising, communication design, and marketing students earned a national top-three finish and took home the Lumie Award for excellence in concept testing and research innovation.

This marks Texas State’s fourth top-three national finish since 2020, including a national championship in 2025.

Congratulations to our students, faculty advisors, and everyone who contributed to another remarkable year for the NSAC program!
