Tower & Bridge Communications

The full-service advertising, marketing, events and public relations agency run by students at The University of Texas at Austin.

About T&B

Welcome to Tower & Bridge Communications, UT Austin’s only student-run advertising and PR agency. A collaboration between Texas Student Media and Moody College of Communication’s Stan Richards School of Advertising & Public Relations, we’re here to give students real-world agency experience in account management, PR, social media, content creation, analytics, advertising and events. Our goal? To prepare passionate communicators for success before they graduate and to help bridge our clients to the UT community, Austin and beyond. Join us and gain the skills you need to thrive in the industry. Hire us to take your strategic marketing and communications to the next level.

Case Studies

At the end of the semester, our account teams create a one-pager case study to recap their campaigns. The case studies below provide insight into our client work.

Slide 1

The Good Hippie

The Good Hippie is a small-batch, natural, artisan line of skincare + beauty, handcrafted in Austin, Texas. We lead our campaign with a focus on authenticity to reflect the values of the brand. We similarly focused on the brand benefits, from less chemicals, and toxins or your body as well as a clearer conscience.

Slide 1

The Rise School of Austin

For 20 Years, The Rise School of Austin has been dedicated to providing the highest quality early childhood education for children of all abilities. This is made possible by continued support from community members. Through this campaign, we hope to honor the impact made over the last 20 years and encourage community members to look towards the future and provide continued support for Rise's mission.

Katie Kismet

Katie Kismet handcrafts modern glass jewelry for those who delight in getting dressed. Inspired by modern art, color, and nature, Katie Kismet features bolo ties for men and women, bold statement rings, and elegant earrings. Our goal was to increase brand awareness through consistent posts showing off both the jewelry and Katie as the creator.

Austin Speech Labs

Austin Speech Labs is a nonprofit founded in 2008 that supports stroke survivors through therapy and other means. Their mission is to support stroke survivors and their loved ones in rebuilding their lives. We provided social media management, design, and press management services for Austin Speech Labs as a way to spread awareness about Austin Speech Labs and their upcoming speech therapy app, Phonology.

Mario's Seafood

Mario's Seafood is a midscale Mexican-Seafood restaurant located in North Austin. They deliver quality meals with fresh ingredients, and a vibrant atmosphere. We created a six-week integrated communications campaign that provides social media management, design and press management services for Mario's Seafood in order to improve brand image and spread brand awareness.
