The American railroads, for instance, did not begin their decline after World War II—it only became obvious and irreversible then. The decline actually set in around the time of World War I. Before World War I, able graduates of American Engineering Schools looked for a railroad career. From the end of World War I on— for whatever reason—the railroads no longer appealed to young engineering graduates, or to any educated young people.

Rather than send their idea to the graveyard, there may be a better way to fix the issue: Project Resurrection. Refining previous projects collaboratively and longitudinally across an academic career can benefit students by adding coherence and cohesiveness to their education. The idea for Project Resurrection began as an ingenious way to revisit old work that needed a little extra attention—essentially a portfolio revision tactic. But in the following case, it became an unexpected catalyst for a crossdisciplinary collaboration resulting in a piece that won an award in the American Advertising Federation student competition. Here’s how it unfolded: A consumer research project was assigned to a class of strategic advertising students. The project challenged students to reimagine a product’s outdated package design. Students conducted in-depth interviews and focus groups to learn how consumers use the product. Throughout this process they gathered critical insights which lead to packaging improvements that would improve consumers’ lives. Though the desired intention was to work on a consumer packaged good, two students made a strong case to rethink the digital packaging of Netflix,","PeriodicalId":37141,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advertising Education","volume":"22 1","pages":"116 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1098048218807141","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41542643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through AEF’s VPP Immersion Program, we spent a week with a team of 30 professors visiting eight agencies and internal advertising departments in New York City (NYC). Ten of the professors also stayed an extra week at individual advertising agencies to take part in week-long, deep-dive VPP Fellowships. There were many themes from the week, including, as expected, conversations around the infamous “advertising is dead” debate. This long-standing dialog continues to echo throughout the top agencies in NYC. Even the term “ad” agency was scrutinized; cases were made for and against this title from industry professionals and professors alike. R/GA, for instance, emphasized a focus on creative disruption and designing connected products that address consumer needs rather than just creating ads to boost sales and raise brand awareness. With an increasing number of advertising services offered by in-house teams and holding companies, ad agencies continue to “reimagine how business as usual is done” (Blakeman, 2018, p. 49).
