Critical Issues Funding Program choices Staffing Administration overload Accreditation of courses Research Need for a shared approach to advertising education
Australia and New Zealand Academy of Advertising Answer to many of the questions seemed to be to form an academic association. Started an group. Published a newsletter. Conducted a survey of member needs and priorities. Let members make the decisions.
Our Achievements Introduced first Australia and NZ National Student Advertising Campaigns competition in Authored a proposal on journal rankings to the Australian Business Deans Group. Established a membership directory and supervision registry. Developed a logo and website.
