AWARD and The Communications Council have chosen their 2018 AWARD School Heads, the seven leading creatives from across Australia that will prepare the next generation of young talents for a career in advertising.

This year’s school heads come from all parts of the industry. There’s a CEO, a creative group head, creative directors and senior copywriters. They will oversee a team of dedicated tutors, who will set challenging briefs and explore the “power of the big idea” as part of this year’s course agenda.

There are less than two weeks until application deadline on Friday, February 23.

AWARD chair, Mike Spirkovski, commented, “We are thrilled to announce our 2018 School Heads, who not only have built an enviable reputation for leading the creative landscape, but also a track record of inspiring, mentoring and discovering untapped talent around the country.

“The calibre of School Heads this year reflects the high standard of AWARD School, which is internationally renowned for launching the careers of some of our industry’s biggest names including David Droga, who took out the School’s top prize back in 1987.”

AWARD School is a 12-week part time course and will run this year from April to July in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide.
