Next generation marketing.
PRISM is an interdisciplinary student-led ad agency run by the next generation of creatives, strategists, analysts, and marketing mavens. As student advertisers, we have a profound understanding of the ever-changing digital landscape and are constantly keeping up to date with the latest trends. We’re continually looking for what’s next and staying ahead of the game, allowing us to develop visionary, forward-thinking solutions for our clients. With a passion for ideation and a deep commitment to learning from industry mentors and our faculty advisor, we PRISMites constantly push ourselves and the brands we build to the next level.
PRISM’S Foundation
PRISM was founded in 2010, by Donna Wertalik, with the goal of establishing a social presence for Pamplin’s College of Business. However, PRISM’s face and collection of perspectives have evolved into an entity that carries a purpose that cannot be defined by simply “establishing.” Faculty-led and student-run, PRISM is a point for progress and a catalyst for change.
OUR NETWORK
PRISM has built a strong alumni network that spans the United States from coast to coast. After 10 years of PRISM, we announced a new way to engage with our alumni, the PRISM Alumni Advisory Council (PRAAC).

Account Managers (AMs) primarily serve as the liaisons between the client and the PRISM’s internal teams. Each account has one or two AMs that are responsible for client relations. Much of this communication is done through emails, virtual and in-person meetings. Each AM has a team of PRISMites that assist them in fulfilling the client’s needs. AMs are detail-oriented, strategic leaders that steer progress for their clients.
