University Students from BA Communications step into the shoes of JPA!

JPA teamed up with BA Communications University students to participate in a social media initiative, where students were given a real life opportunity as to what it is like working in a Digital Department of a well established Marketing Agency. Together, the teams presented their ideas for a Social Media strategy for Heineken Malta. They were evaluated in terms of creativity and presentation skills and the winning team was chosen.

Here at JPA we always value creative individuals who take initiative and represent future marketing leaders. The JPA team greatly enjoyed hearing the young, fresh and innovative ideas!

If you wish to participate in future activities or collaborate with us, simply share your creative ideas and drop us a line at info@jpadvertising.com

JPA Student Initiatives

 

Following the active seminar with Communications students held on the 29th of October, JPA is anticipating a  number of exciting submissions from the students!

The project is a collaborative effort between the CommA team, Heineken Malta and JPA with an aim of giving these creative students the opportunity to present their refreshing ideas and concepts in a “real-life” boardroom situation in front of a panel of marketing professionals

Closing date for  electronic submissions is on the 7th of November – we are really looking forward to having a look at your ideas. Good luck guys!

 

 

It’s going to be an emotional day for Facebook!

That’s why Facebook launched three recent changes: revamped Friend Lists, a real-time news ticker, and the subscribe button. Friend Lists lets you share content with just your closest friends (with whom you have the strongest emotional connection), and the ticker lets you have real-time conversations with your friends as soon as they do anything. Subscribe lets you fill your News Feed with people you admire and respect, fostering a different type of emotional connection.

But these changes are just the beginning. The changes Facebook will roll out on Thursday are designed to enhance the emotional connection its users have to each other through Facebook. These changes will make Facebook a place where nearly everything in your life is enhanced by your social graph. These changes will make it so you know your friends better than you ever thought you could.

On Thursday, developers will be elated, users will be shellshocked and the competition will look ancient. On Thursday, Facebook will be reborn. Prepare yourselves for the evolution of social networking. Today is that Thursday!
