Why study Advertising?

In the degree in Advertising creativity is the main protagonist. It is ideal for those people who always felt attracted to constantly coming up with new things, for born artists and for anyone who believes they can do a little more through the screen, graphics or radio for the society in which they live.

Studying advertising is an unforgettable experience

The coordinator of the degree at a renowned national university points out that many people come to enroll, but not all of them continue after the first year. “There is a lot of dropout, since people are not clear about what an advertiser does. Working as an advertiser involves knowing the market, understanding consumers and having an excellent relationship with the media. But, in between, there is a whole process that involves the creation of the campaign, for which some are born and trained and others only intend to train. The latter must enter with greater patience and expect long-term results, since otherwise it is very easy for them to get frustrated. In this degree, we work from the first day as if they were already working in an advertising agency, so that students know the field in which they will work in the future and can decide,” he says.

“The Advertising degree is very stimulating, there is no way to get bored in it. Anyone who is interested in art and in communication should choose it, it is the most complete of the disciplines and the most fun,” says a student about to graduate.

It would seem that creativity is everything, but various factors are added that are involved in the university degree. You have to learn to handle the precise tools to generate advertisements, train in media and know in depth psychological and emotional factors of the different target audience groups that a campaign can target. It is a degree that allows students to grow and apply all their knowledge once graduated, when they will encounter an extensive panorama of opportunities that it will be up to them to know how to take advantage of.
