Absorb the creative brilliance of Cannes Grand Prix-winning creative and founder of Bear Meets Eagle on Fire. AWARD is hosting a free one-hour masterclass with Micah Walker, online on Tuesday, August 26, 6–7pm AEST via Zoom.

The masterclass, breaking In, will be hosted by AWARD School VIC co-chairs, Ryan Clayton, creative director at Taboo and Huei Yin Wong, senior creative at Howatson+Company, and will be packed with practical tips for anyone interested in creativity, from sharpening your thinking and building confidence to turning ideas into work that truly lands.

In the lead-up, registered attendees will receive a creative brief to tackle. On the night, Clayton and Wong will provide feedback and advice, while Walker will share a behind-the-scenes look at how Bear Meets Eagle on Fire approaches briefs, including a walk-through of one of its most celebrated campaigns.

At this year’s Cannes Lions, Bear Meets Eagle on Fire dominated the Film Craft category, winning the Grand Prix, a Gold, and a Film Gold Lion for its Better on a Better Network campaign for Telstra. It also took home a Gold and Silver for Donkey, and a Bronze for The Shoemaker, both for Telstra.

“This is a rare chance for aspiring creatives to hear from one of the industry’s best, and steal his secrets to ideas, storytelling and execution,” Wong stated. “If you’re curious about commercial creativity, this session will show you how to shape your thinking and develop work that really hits.”

Clayton added, “Stick around for the Q&A to not only pick Micah’s brains, but ask anything you want about the 12-week AWARD School program, how to improve your creative process and get your foot in the door to the industry.”
