Make Shit Up
Want to make ads?
If you can come up with ideas, you’re already an advertising creative. But what is it all about?
Endless possibilities
A Creative comes up with ideas to solve various clients’ problems. Whether that’s a drumming gorilla or a piglet astronaut, there’s no knowing what you’ll be working on, and that’s where the fun is.
So if that sounds like your kind of thing…
This page is a resource to help you understand more about what creatives do all day (aside from chatting movies and drawing on scraps of paper,) and give you resources to help you get started in advertising.
Just a few of the places you can find out more about the advertising industry, from resources to grad schemes and apprenticeships.
