Congratulations to UNC Hussman student Sara Lynn Loucks, who won Warner Bros. Discovery's 2026 Intern Pitch-off Competition in Marketing this summer!
Competing against 106 interns from across the country, Loucks developed an experiential marketing campaign for the TNT series "Claws." Her winning concept, "Claws Polish Parlor," reimagined the show as an immersive SXSW speakeasy nail bar designed to introduce new audiences to the series through a highly shareable live experience.
After advancing as one of four finalists, Loucks presented her pitch to Warner Bros. Discovery judges and was selected as the competition's winner.
