AWARD School opens for applications on February 9.
Last year’s AWARD School top student, Tom Lawrence, is now a copywriter at Droga5 New York. Lawrence is one of the thousands of graduates that AWARD School has equipped with the skills to forge careers in advertising agencies, technology companies, at the helm of start-up companies, or working for TV programs and publishers.
It has been the leading Australian ideas programme for aspiring art directors and copywriters for 34 years.
Here’s what could lie ahead for you:
Mike Spirkovski, AWARD chair and chief creative officer of Saatchi & Saatchi Australia, commented, “AWARD School has been globally renowned for decades and has helped nurture some of Australia’s most talented creatives, spanning across the country and the world. It is a powerful way to experience first-hand, the power of the BIG IDEA, through challenging briefs and direct exposure to the top Agencies and their talented tutors. There is no better way to kick-start your career as a creative than taking on the challenge of AWARD School.”
The 12-week part time course runs from April to August each year in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. The course consists of a Monday evening lecture and Thursday evening tutorial, held inside agencies.
