Best Campaign Supporting Sustainability Winner 2021
A 'Water Bottle Brief' poster competition devised by Sally Chan, Senior Teaching Fellow in Marketing with the aim of embedding sustainability in the curriculum, was awarded Best Campaign Supporting Sustainability in 2021. The winning entry saw MA Advertising and Marketing/Design students produce a poster illustrating that with every plastic bottle we throw out, we pose a threat to animals that share the ground we walk on.
