SCA 2.0 | EVERY SINGLE WAY TO GET A JOB IN ADVERTISING

COVID-19 may have struck but that doesn’t have to stop guest lectures. In this case, we gathered up SCA 2.0 students in a Zoom to talk to them about the next step in their creative advertising journey. And really, how do you get a job in advertising? As their very degree teaches them, doing the exact same thing as everyone else is the best way to fail to get noticed and fail to impress. 

As a freelancer, Jim has been forced to get a job in advertising again and again and again. He’s tried every way imaginable, plus a few more, to secure some pretty exciting projects. In this talk, Jim gives away the secrets (and some of them really are secrets) of how he’s managed to get so many jobs in advertising, including at prestigious agencies like Iris, Ogilvy, RAPP, IDEO and more).

SPEAKING OF ADVERTISING...

Or getting a job in advertising. Creative campaigns are our bread and butter. We’ve worked alongside leading advertising agencies to produce world-class creative work for all sorts of brands. When you’re doing it right, it’s not the kind of work you ever fall out of love with.

We know creative advertising. Where to start with it, how to produce it, how to get into it. And by God we’re opinionated about it. Talking on the subject is always a pleasure. And we can design talks all around advertising that fit your curriculum or business goals.
