Point Pitch

High School Students to Create Communications Plan for a Real Client

Point Park University

Pitch Competition for High School Students to Win $500

Partnering with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, high school students will develop a high-level marketing communications plan at Point Park University's annual Point Pitch competition to win a $500 prize for the best campaign. 

Teams of up to six high school students will develop branding and promotional ideas to entice middle and high school students to check out the Museum Lab at the Children's Museum.

The teams will be paired with a professional mentor from the Pittsburgh public relations and advertising industry, who will provide networking opportunities and guidance. Teams will produce everything from the big idea to creative executions and strategy.
