Students win ADDYs

The school's advertising students won two of the four ADDY awards presented by the Raleigh-Durham American Advertising Federation (AAF) to students at last week's 2010 ADDY awards gala in Raleigh.

Senior NJ Placentra won gold for his magazine campaign for Bose audio systems.

A team of students - Melissa Withorn, Mackenzie Gibbs, Paula Buzzi, Adam Hinson and Sarah Whitworth - won a silver ADDY for their non-traditional advertising work on international non-profit Carolina for Kibera (CFK). In addition to their award, the group's work will be produced in 2010 as CFK rolls out campaigns across several N.C. college campuses. The piece is likely to be a component of CFK advertising for many years.

The ADDY winners advance to district-level competition.
