52 Huskers named to Jacht Ad Agency’s spring crew

Fifty-two University of Nebraska–Lincoln students have been named to Jacht Ad Agency’s spring crew.

Jacht is a student-run agency offered through the College of Journalism and Mass Communications that allows participants to gain real-world experience by working with a variety of clients on brand strategy, public relations, multimedia, design and more. Clients this semester include the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Mourning Hope and Backyard Farmer.

Jacht allows students to improve their skills and develop their expertise throughout the semester. Often students return to Jacht to discover more opportunities and take on leadership roles.

Hannah-Kate Kinney, a returning “Jachter,” will serve as the director of multimedia this semester. In this role, she will help ensure clients receive high-quality photos, videos and animations.

“Jacht has helped me grow in my confidence as a leader,” Kinney said. “Working here has provided a great opportunity to collaborate with my peers as we become the next generation of media professionals.”
