It’s great that the school has received such broad industry support. I found the students to be talented and keen and we’re looking forward to the first crop of graduates.”
Miami Ad School: has been named by the Gunn Report, the top advertising ranking authority globally, as the ‘best advertising school in the world’ based on the quality of the awards received by its graduates across its global advertising schools.

It incorporates design school, creative writing school, art school, portfolio school, photography school, technical school, copywriting school, stand up comedy school, film school, business school and think tank. Students graduate after 2 years with a professional portfolio that generally sees them hired within a few weeks of graduation.

Students have the opportunity to work at agencies in some of the world’s leading design centres while studying at Miami Ad School’s overseas schools. Miami Ad School runs courses in Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, Madrid, Istanbul, New York City, San Francisco, Miami, Minneapolis, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Mexico City and Mumbai. Admission is through a creative selection process.

Very Beaupeurt.
It will be great to see some refreshing junior creatives who have proper design skills and don’t all have cloned Award school books.
Lean about advertising from teachers who represent one tiny, same-same portion of the Australian market. Why, it’s genius!
Nice one Benny.
Where are the women?
I struggle to see what you are implying. Are you saying why not learn about advertising from engineers? Mechanics? Or are you stating that because the tutors happen to be male, they are all representative of ‘one tiny, same-same portion of the Australian market’?
It must suck to be you, all these inferior and less talented people stealing your job because they’re men. Not because they’re possibly more suited or qualified to the position. Or because they may just be nicer than you. No, it’s because they have sausages as an appendage.
If a male was to say ‘she only got that job because she’s a woman’, he’d be hung, drawn, neutered and quartered, so why treat men the same way? You lower the intellect of both sexes by doing so.
spot of sausage, lets keep spiiting out the same ol same ol. One of them is one of the worst creatives ever had the displeasure of seeing in action. Wouldn’t juniors anywhere near miami ad school.
