The coveted Greg Awards; named after the first president of St. Lawrence college who believed in supporting his students, staff and programs full-heartedly. Every year the advertising program hosts this 'mini Oscars' in celebration of its student’s hard work, perseverance and passion. Multiple awards are given to the first, second and third year students of the Advertising-Integrated Marketing Communications program. Faculty from the entire school of business department are gathered, looking their best to support our future marketing professionals. Many laughs and stories are shared and it is always a momentous occasion.
I’m also very thankful for the team members I’ve worked with, especially Christina Hewitt & Natalie Graham. The importance of friendship and genuine trust cannot be measured or explained in mere words. But I’m glad we work so well together and all strive for the same high expectations. It was those high expectations that won us the 2013 GREG AWARD for Best Corporate Video Editing this year.
The three of us tirelessly devoted countless hours to the production of this video and our second earning recognition from our teachers and peers. I could not have done this without you both and am so proud to share this award with you. Our video also would not have been the same without the musical genius of our composer, Kyle Bouwmeister and the exceptional narration of Jim Elyot. Without the two of you we would only have had half a video to edit.
I hope future students strive for greatness within this program or any other. The satisfaction you earn for completing a project feels like no other - especially when you have the support and guidance from such great faculty like Tom Brennan, Mike Kusters, Ricardo Giuliani and of course Jim Elyot. Thank you all again so much for this honour.
Our video was a ‘cute, conscientious and catchy’ viral video to raise awareness of the Joe’s Musical.Instrument.Lending.Library charity here in Kingston, ON. The charity provides a free ‘borrowing’ service to anyone in need of musical support. This includes instruments, lesson books and workshops. The charity is in need of instrument and monetary donations as well as volunteers.
