Niamh picks up her award from Union's Creative Director Sheryl Thompson (right) and host Danni Menzies.
To round off a bumper year, the course is celebrating another win at the Marketing Society Scotland Star Awards, with HND student Niamh Curran picking up Star Creative Student accolade for her work on the STV brief, sponsored by the Union.
This project is unique on the course because the initial response is a written submission, and the shortlisted candidates then pitch their developed idea to the judging panel. Niamh held off competition from talented creative students at Robert Gordon's and DJCAD, and our students have now won this award in no less than six times in the last seven years.
An extra bonus this year was that 2017 graduate Christina Giannakou, now a designer at AlwaysBeContent, was shortlisted in the Rising Creative Star category, a great achievement so early in her career.
Now in its fourteenth year, the Star Awards brings together the largest gathering of the marketing and advertising community outside of London. This year, some 500 practitioners, clients and creatives celebrated at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh. The full list of winners can be found here.
