WONGDOODY has named Mikaila Weaver as the recipient of its first ever Women in Advertising Scholarship. Out of a talented applicant pool with diverse skill sets, Weaver stood out as a future leader in the ad industry. She’s currently a student at the VCU Brandcenter specializing in experience design and creative technology.
“Mikaila impressed us with the sense of purpose she brings–a passion to impact people’s lives in a positive, meaningful way,” said Pam Fujimoto, WONGDOODY executive creative director.
Earlier this year WONGDOODY unveiled its Women in Advertising Scholarship, a $5,000 prize toward tuition for exceptional women pursuing advertising careers in a creative capacity. The scholarship will be awarded twice per year, once in the summer and once in the winter, to women who are currently enrolled in undergraduate or portfolio school.
WONGDOODY’s Women in Advertising Scholarship reaffirms a commitment to seeing women succeed in advertising, and expands that commitment beyond agency walls. The scholarship will empower promising candidates to further their education as they work toward an advertising career.
