MEMBERSHIP
TNH welcomes all SU students, regardless of home college or major. We value the SU community’s diverse talent, and encourage anyone interested to apply. Here’s why you should join the TNH Team - and how.
WHY
Real, Applicable Experience.
TNH exclusively develops real work for real clients; you won’t be doing any busy work here. Practice your skills in advertising strategy, creative, or account management. We offer leadership positions across each of these roles, as well as through our Executive Board. Whether you’re looking to try out different roles to expand your advertising skill set or develop valuable leadership experience, TNH allows you to explore your professional interests before graduating.
2. Networking Opportunities.
Build your network by connecting with TNH members - past and present. The teams and clients you’ll work with will rotate every semester, allowing you to constantly develop new connections throughout your time in TNH. TNH hosts several alumni events per year, where recent Newhouse and/or TNH alumni discuss their current jobs and help give insight into leveraging TNH experience professionally. We also host an Advertising Trip in NYC every Fall, exclusive to TNH seniors.
3. Develop Your Professional Self.
TNH provides the real-world interaction and experience necessary for any aspiring professional, including non-advertising majors, or those looking to pursue careers outside of the agency world. Work directly with professionals in order to build your professional skills.
HOW
Applications open 2-3 weeks after the start of each semester and are sent to all Newhouse students via their SU email. If you’re a student outside of Newhouse, please fill out the “Contact Us” form on our website and we’ll manually send you an application email. For any questions or concerns, feel free to message the TNH instagram account @tnhagency.
Everyone who applies will be placed within one of TNH’s three primary groups, listed below.
OUR GROUPS
Note that clients across all three groups will change each semester.
1. Pitch Team - Reserved for TNH Juniors and Seniors, two small teams work with our Vice President and client representative developing mock campaigns. At the end of the semester, teams will pitch directly to our client, and they will determine the winning campaign. National clients we’ve recently worked with include Burger King, Sunkist, Chips Ahoy!, and Tide.
2. General Body - This is TNH’s main group, which works with the bulk of our primary clientele. All General Body members split into teams that each work with one client throughout the semester. General Body clients consist of smaller businesses, some local to Syracuse and others having multiple regional chains. Recent General Body clients include Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, APEX Entertainment, and GiGi’s Playhouse.
3. Greenhouse - TNH’s new member program. Greenhouse is an educational and informative program that exposes new members to not only the fundamentals of the advertising process, but also practice working with a team through the campaign creation process. Greenhouse clients we’ve recently partnered with include a variety of local Syracuse businesses, like Scholars & Champs, Funk ’n Waffles, and Heritage Cafe.
