American Advertising Federation — Baton Rouge

Communications has never been as important to political campaigns as it is today. From placing ads to spread the word to using social media for raising funds, knowing what to say and where to say it can make the difference between a win and a loss. As a result, more and more advertising and PR professionals are finding themselves involved in political campaigns either as paid consultants or volunteers.

Broaden your skills for running political and public affairs campaigns by attending the new Manship School’s Academy of Applied Politics.

• Led by renowned Louisiana political consultant Roy Fletcher.
• Classes will be held on Wednesdays, Jan. 25 – April 4, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the LSU Journalism building.
• Speakers to include John Maginnis, Timmy Teepell, Sally Nungesser and others.

As adults, we problem solve on a daily basis:  at home and at work, for others and for ourselves…it becomes a natural part of what we do, and for the most part, we do it without a thought of what it takes to go through the problem solving process.  We instinctively make a choice and move forward.

The creative process allows for imagining, building, and developing something unique and remarkable in response to a problem or challenge.  Using creativity in our jobs, in our time off, or even in stretching resources, we may use this process as a means to solve problems as well.

But what if you use the creative process as a means beyond problem solving and reacting?  As a means of to create leadership potential and the life you strive for?  Sign up for this interactive and intriguing course to expand your concept of creativity and learn to purposefully and intentionally achieve what you dream.

Saturday: April 21, 2012
Time: 10:00-1:00
Location: Lamar
Cost: $20
A light lunch will be served.
