ONE DAY is an annual public service initiative organized by the American Advertising Federation–Coastal Bend in collaboration with Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi’s Communication Design Program. This event unites professional designers, creative directors, copywriters, media specialists, and video professionals to collaboratively create and execute innovative advertising materials supported by donated media within a single day. The primary goal of ONE DAY is to support a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that typically operates with minimal or no marketing budget.
