Our mission is to give you real-world training for creative problem solving. Ideas above all else. Everything is marketing today. Any idea that helps a brand or movement gain traction is considered advertising, whether it's a social, digital, design or a disruptive idea that defies categorization. Whether you're an aspiring art director, copywriter or designer looking to build your portfolio, our goal is to help you build your portfolio with game-changing ideas. We are the first and only school of its kind in Austin. All courses are taught by senior-level working professionals, not by full-time ‘teachers,’ and classes are held within the walls of ad agencies. Real-world assignments from actual clients are a part of the curriculum.* Students compete to 'sell in' their creative solution to the client, where the winning concept can ultimately get produced and the winning student(s) gets paid an actual professional fee.** Guest speakers ranging from designers, producers, strategic planners, photographers and film makers will arm you with a well-rounded insight into all the disciplines within advertising. We are proudly supported by GSD&M, a nationally recognized agency that takes pride in shaping future creative minds and cultural movers. DEADLINE TO ENROLL FOR SPRING SESSION IS APRIL 19 (CLASSES START APRIL 29) *Not all courses include actual client assignments. **Fee amounts vary from client to client. http://www.gsdm.comenrolling.htmlshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1
