Outstanding commerical, also the students talking about SDSU is also well done.

'be great, start here' is a good slogan.





I'm still trying to figure out how L and S justified taking on the USD account alongside the SDSU account. And why USD was okay with that.

L & S isn't a part of the new campaign for SDSU, so I'm guessing there was no conflict when they started working with USD.

Here's yet another example:

Gary Timmerman, a Watertown native and former Jackrabbit standout quartermiler on the track team, named head of the surgery department at Sanford, U of SD Medical School. Gary attended SDSU three years and then went to med school at Washington U in St. Louis...he has a BS from SDSU conferred as an honorary degree (it was common for pre-professional students in the health fields to leave undergrad after three years and enter med school, dental school, optometric school etc.).

Really? Who's got the account now?

Did some looking around, it looks like The Image Group has had our account for two years

This guy is a really good surgeon. Yes, you'd think all physicians that do surgery are, but Dr. Timmerman is very good at what he does. Well deserved.

The Argus made it front page news that Timmerman was to receive $500,000 for a salary. I would think he is worth it and some more too.

I think you are thinking of Dr. Mary Nettelman the new Dean of the Med School.

She is the higest paid state employee

Yeah you are right again. I glad there are some on here who actually read what I post. How could I have messed this up? I read only the headline.

Re: New SDSU TV commercial

I would be surprised if Dr. Timmerman only makes $500,000.

Re: New SDSU TV commercial

I like the ad. My only issue is that USD has one that starts almost exactly the same way, with historical photos:

The SDSU one is better. I think "Be Great, Start Here" is a lot better than "Onward". But you cannot deny the similarities, and theirs was posted in September.

Re: New SDSU TV commercial

I saw a UW ad yesterday during the game that started with historical pictures. Seems like a common trend among college TV ads.

Re: New SDSU TV commercial

Besides that after the first few seconds the SDSU ad goes in a very different direction.
