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:
$8,400Team: Yours Truly - Dalhousie University
2nd Place:
$5,700Team: Smokin Aces - Saint Mary's University
3rd Place:
$4,600Team: 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.
