The Pitch is a competition focused on advertising and its associated disciplines. Students will receive hands-on experience by working with a Columbus advertising agency on a real-world project with a local non-profit organization. This is a great opportunity for students to show their talents to some of the best agencies in Columbus.
Students are placed on a team that participates in one-day work session at a local agency. The “Pitches” from the work sessions will be given to the local non-profit, who will then select a winning team to be recognized at a future AAF event.
This year’s nonprofit: 
The Alzheimer's Association is a full mission based association that provides care and support for those impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementias throughout the entire journey of the disease. We offer free programs and services to support caregivers of loved ones and those living with the disease including a 24/7 Helpline where clinical experts are available to answer questions and sometimes just be a friendly voice on the line during very tough times. We offer education to the community and professionals and support groups throughout the 14 counties we serve in Central Ohio.
