Six secondary school students from Co. Kildare spent a day with TV3 & 3e for a VIP tour of the television studios and to brainstorm with creative experts and producers.

The experience was part of a national prize which will see ‘Smoolicious’ an advert created by the team, transformed into reality and broadcast on national television by TV3 and 3e. The students got real life hands-on experience of the full development process for the advert, from storyboard creation through to execution. The day was an invaluable experience for any student hoping to embark on a career in the world of marketing.

The TY students from Ard Scoil na Tríonóide, Rathstewart, Athy, Co. Kildare won the top prize in National Dairy Council’s Milk It Awards in May 2014.
