Don't mute the TV when the commercials come on tonight during the Wolfpack's game against South Carolina. You might miss NC State's new TV ad – one of the key components of a new awareness campaign that promotes NC State as a high-energy leader in producing graduates ready to make an impact in society and the workplace, innovative research targeted towards the most-pressing issues the world faces, and our outreach and economic development impact in North Carolina and beyond.
Weeks of preparation followed by a single day of actual filming all helped bring NC State's new 30-second television commercials to life. The new spots – entitled "Gateway" and "Speed Bump" – are a definite departure from more traditional university commercials, and were designed to portray NC State as a place where students hit the ground running and change the world.
The students selected for the Class of 2012 already reflect NC State’s “Red Means Go” mentality, and will only strengthen the traditions and legacy that previous classes have built on campus.
