The Northway Group is the SCTCC Marketing and Design program's in-house advertising agency. Each project is an individualized student experience with a sponsoring
business, organization, or professional and their instructor.
Each student is assigned agency roles with various projects based upon their skill set and experience. Students will then apply their knowledge of marketing, writing, design, research, photography, computer software and production techniques to complete a series of projects that will realistically simulate agency work experience. As students develop their individual skillsets and experience how TNG operates, they will expand leadership roles and responsibilities in subsequent semesters to hone their craft for their chosen career path.
