UCLA Advertising and Marketing Team

UCLA AD Team LOGO

The Bruin Advertising and Marketing Team is a student-led organization that runs itself like a real advertising agency, setting out each year to bring the best copywriters, designers, thinkers, editors, photographers and researchers at UCLA into the AdTeam family. Members come from a variety of different academic backgrounds, interests, and strengths. The team is well-known in the Los Angeles advertising community, primarily because so many of its members transition seamlessly into the industry immediately after graduation.

Bruin AdTeam has historically placed at or near the top of their district in the annual National Student Advertising Competition, run by the American Advertising Federation. Out of over 150 regional competitors, only 16 teams are selected as finalists for the National Competition, where AdTeam took first place in 1999. The experience of preparing and presenting real, tangible campaigns gives members the opportunity to gain practical skills critical to success in the advertising and marketing industries.
