Award School is the premier course for creativity in Australia. It’s a 12-week course for budding creatives, to compete against one another all whilst getting lectured and tutored by those working in ad agencies.
I’m not a Creative (although I finished in the Top 5), but I love the ideas we get to work with every day and Award School helped me learn about the process of generating ideas, how fragile they are, writing better briefs or providing constructive feedback.
