My name is David Benjamin (Benji) Garland, and I love to write copy, design visuals, dissect audiences, study brands, play rugby, record music, get outside, and eat pizza and Spanish ham (not together).

I’m a junior at UNC Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media studying advertising and public relations. Most recently, I interned at FCB New York as a copywriter, but I keep myself busy with freelance and spec work in my spare time.

PLAYA BOWLS



MISSING SUMMER?: An acai bowl tastes like a bite of summer. Between the tropical flavors, refreshing chill, and summer themed store, Playa Bowls gives students a place to taste summer in the midst of the second semester slump. Students are between holidays, cold, and getting started in new classes from January-March. This ad aims to position Playa Bowls as a symbol of what students miss most: summer.
