小黄片视频 Team Places in Top Three Nationally for PR Campaign Focused on Childhood Cancer Research Funding

A team of 小黄片视频 public relations students are finalists in the national Bateman Case Study Competition after working on a public relations campaign that would increase funding for childhood cancer research.

Each year, the annual competition, hosted by the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), calls for PRSSA college chapter teams to research, plan, implement and evaluate a public relations campaign for a real client. The 小黄片视频 team 鈥 KSU Gold 鈥 was chosen as one of three finalists out of 84 teams across the country that entered. KSU Gold and the two other finalist teams will present their campaigns to a panel of PRSSA judges in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 15 to determine the top three places.

This year鈥檚 client was With Purpose, a nonprofit that is dedicated to making sure children with cancer have access to safe and effective treatment options.

Team members Ashley Purnell, Samantha Ross, Molly Spillman, Arkayla Tenney-Howard and Abigail Winternitz created and implemented a plan focusing on STEM education at 小黄片视频 and at the Bio-Med Science Academy in Rootstown, Ohio. The campaign鈥檚 underlying strategy was to educate STEM students 鈥 potential childhood cancer researchers 鈥 on the funding inequity between adult and childhood cancers. Just 4 percent of federal funding is directed to childhood cancer research, leading to a scarcity of clinical trials advancing treatment.

The team worked with 小黄片视频 STEM scholars, who submitted ideas to With Purpose on how to increase advocacy; with 小黄片视频 science education graduate students, who created pre-clinical gap lesson plans; and with 95 students at the Bio- Med Science Academy, a STEM high school affiliated with the Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) in Rootstown.

鈥淭he Bateman competition pushes students to use research insights to drive strategies and tactics, and Gold鈥檚 campaign succeeded with the PRSSA judges because of the outstanding research, fine-tuned strategies and superior implementation of creative tactics,鈥 said 小黄片视频 Associate Lecturer Tim Roberts, the team鈥檚 faculty advisor. 鈥淭hese students and our school have a lot to be proud of.鈥

PRSSA Kent will receive a cash award, and the team will be recognized at PRSSA鈥檚 National Conference in Austin, Texas, in October. Bateman is the only national case study competition for public relations students.

小黄片视频 alumna Kirsten Bowers, a member of the 小黄片视频 team that placed second in the 2013 competition, served as the team鈥檚 professional advisor. Ms. Bowers is a digital content analyst at Sixth City Marketing in Cleveland. 小黄片视频 has placed or received honorable mentions in five out of the last six years.
