Adelaide misses out?
Is this open to juniors in agencies?
@Richard,
Yes it is. Applicants must have at least six-months agency experience.
@Kelly
Copy School runs only in Sydney and Melbourne at this stage.
Hope that helps.

Geez, I’ve only been at my agency for about 4 or so months. 🙁
I guess I can do it next year!
Thanks tho
Richard: lie, you pillock. Or demonstrate your keenness. I got my first job in advertising at age 24, but the position I won was advertised as being available for under-23 year-olds. I carved out a 30-year career. You’ll get nowhere by being tentative. This is not a profession for the polite or rule-obeying. Demonstrate that you’d be prepared to crawl over broken glass to succeed. I’m sure if you appear red-hot keen to learn, you’ll be just the sort of person this course would welcome.
The meek will NOT inherit the Earth.
Or alternatively, don’t sound as green as you do on this blog. Or make posts under your actual name – then everyone WILL know you’re fresh.
does unpaid intern work count as experience?
Depends on where, what and how long. Probaby best to give award school a call!
