A little about me

Justin Sliwka (Slif-ka)

Bachelor of Science in Advertising Management

As an MSU Graduate, I'm a creative at heart but found my place in Advertising Management. I love sharing stories whether it's personal or for brands. I started off in design, working with Photoshop and later 3d design, eventually finding my love for leading and management. I've worked with businesses of all sizes to help them tell their story to all the right people. I'm all about turning an idea on paper into the perfect campaign for both the brand and its supporters. Check out some of my work here and don't hold back contacting me for more. I look forward to talking!

In my free time I love working on my other hobbies which include flying/working on my private pilots license, scuba diving (when I can), shooting at the range and finding new excuses to travel.

Why Advertising?

My passion for advertising started with my love of meaningful and important brands in our society. After discovering my passion, it was clear that connecting people with brands wasn't just a sales tactic but rather a way to craft meaningful bonds between people.

Advertising Work

Doner Advertising (Internship)

Doner provided me with an invaluable, real-world experience working with several clients including developing a campaign centered around a new product launch that both challenged and inspired me to create a unique and memorable campaign.

Education

Advertising Management, Michigan State University

Advertising Management B.S. Although my work and passion for advertising started prior to MSU, I've been able to learn under many career professionals who have held successful positions in agencies such as DDB, Campbell Ewald and Leo Burnett. It has allowed me to work with real life situations they faced throughout their career which I can say has been invaluable. I was the recipient of the Donald and Annette Neal Scholarship through the College of Communication Arts and Sciences for the 2019-2020 academic year and also recieved the Internship Award for my 2019 Summer internship. Throughout my 2 years I've remained on the Dean's List with a consistent GPA above 3.7.

My MSU Courses included: ADV486 (Integrated Campaigns), ADV420 (New Media Driver's License), ADV442 (Digital Analytics), ADV375 (Consumer Behavior), ADV475 (Advertising and Society), ADV342 (Account Planning and Research), ADV330 (Advertising Mgt Strategy) & Public Relations.

Some of my work/studies included developing everything from Campaigns, Strategy, Research and More. Check out some of my course work .
