Program Overview
This programme isn’t about ads that harrass, interrupt, and stalk you. It's about ideas. Ideas that surprise, delight, provoke. Ideas that create their own shareability and their own PR.
Ideas that change culture, change behaviour and help change the world. Sometimes that can mean creating ads. But only if they’re ads that people notice, love, and talk about. Sometimes that can mean applying your creativity to tech to create new products or services that can help to solve urgent social and environmental problems.
Why study Creative Advertising at Media Design School?
- The Graduate Diploma kicks off with an introduction to the foundation elements of visual communication, copywriting, and techniques for generating ideas.
- You'll work in creative partnerships to turn those ideas into realised concepts, benchmarking your work in national and international competitions, and working to live briefs, as we prepare you to work effectively and creatively to deadlines as you would in an agency. Along the way, you'll work with proven creatives, gaining insights from experts in the industry.
- The course culminates in our annual industry showcase, where creative directors, senior creatives and past graduates are personally invited to view your portfolio. We view the show as your first stepping stone into setting up work experience, with most students securing their own interviews and internships on the night.
