Hey AWARD School, why only feature national winners as alumni when 99% of students wont get the golden ticket into the ad industry. You could look to include some alumni who didnt come in the top 10 who had to hustle really hard to land a job. food for thought.
In reply to Jack B.
Can’t tell you how many talented young creatives fall through the cracks at this place because of some “Top 10” creative ponzi scheme. Hard work trumps talent any day!
Does seem like you’re only sharing insights for one way of getting a job in ad land.
Hi, thank you for the feedback. We run a series of information sessions for AWARD School (including another taking place next Wed 9 Feb) which include former students who did not place in the top ten. This ensures we are including different perspectives from those who have completed the course. It’s also important to note that some of the most successful AWARD School graduates hired by key advertising and creative agencies in Australia didn’t place in the leading group of students during their time at AWARD School, and that a large majority of agency Executive Creative Directors will consider any AWARD School graduate who reaches out to them. But yes, we appreciate the feedback and will look to ensure we have a range of different speakers at each session.
