Reading List
For many participants the media plan case competition presents the first opportunity to create an in-depth media plan for a campaign. This isnt just a competition, its full-fledged work experience of resume quality.
A number of undergraduates have explored shaping an independent study incorporating the competition. Since no independent study is without a reading list, and to provide background an insight on the process for every participant, we are sharing our suggested reading.
