WHAT IS AD SCHOOL?
We wanted to challenge the stereotype of the normal work experience – there’s no tea and coffee making during this week! Instead you get a jam-packed week giving you a genuine insight into life in an advertising agency.

You’ll have a timetable full of talks from industry leading specialists, armed with all the information required to pull together your very own campaign. The other part of your week is spent with the help of your mentors and fellow ad school team to deliver a pitch for a live brief in the agency.
