Trumped 2009 Winning Work


Last year's competitors put out the best quality work Trumped has ever seen. In Task One, teams were required to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society using nothing but stories and a smile. And smile they did - all the way to the bank! Teams raised $62,000 in thirteen days for the Canadian Cancer Society, making it their largest private donation of 2009.

Task 1:

1st Place:
$8,400   
Team: Yours Truly - Dalhousie University


2nd Place:
$5,700   
Team: Smokin Aces - Saint Mary's University


3rd Place:
$4,600   
Team: Taurus - Dalhousie University


The next task dealt with Trumped's desire to give back to the local community. Teams were given free consulting time with Extreme Group, one of Halifax's top ad agencies, and they produced amazing billboards and radio ads promoting Pinky's Ice Cream, a local entrepreneur. Check out some of these ads!

Task 2:

Hidden Jem


Team: Innov Eng. - Dalhousie University

In 2009 one team learned the importance of having a back-up plan; the team developed two billboards for pinky’s ice cream in task two. The billboard they presented was not chosen as the top; however, the one they did not use, but showed, as an alternative was “perfect” said Shawn King, owner of Extreme Group Advertising agency. One student learned the importance of being more assertive is using his work, while another learned to let go of having complete control and the entire team learned the importance of having a back up plan.  The team was awarded “The Hidden Gem” prize of $500 for their work.
