This is FREE, but does require the time commitment of an entire weekend. Not only will you learn great things, get to work within a team and experience what it is like working for an advertising agency, it is a great networking opportunity. I suggest if you are interested that you sign up right away!

Hi Joey,
My name is Tiffany Edwards and I am the Director of Education & Diversity at The One Club, located in New York. We are a non-profit organization who’s mission is to support the next generation of advertising and design creatives, and this November, we will be in Atlanta hosting a FREE four-day Creative Boot Camp at Morehouse College to introduce students from all educational backgrounds to the creative side of advertising.
The goal of the Creative Boot Camp is to recruit creative students who were not aware of advertising and design as a viable career option and introduce them to the art of concepting and building a campaign for a real client. Since it's inception in New York two years ago, we have successfully completed seven boot camp sessions with over 600 students from over 40 colleges across four states, and the results have been amazing. We have watched these students go from knowing little to nothing about the field to using the information and tools they gathered at the boot camp to move on to top advertising training programs, land coveted internship spots at large advertising agencies and even get full time jobs. We are hosting this workshop for the third time in Atlanta, and I would be thrilled to see some of your students there.
I know that you have bright motivated creative students and recent graduates, and understand the challenges you face in helping them find viable internship and job opportunities. If any of them have an interest in advertising, copywriting, art direction, design or creativity in general, I would like to know about them and they will want to know about this event.
Below are some of the key benefits for students that choose to participate in this FREE workshop.
The One Club Creative Boot Camp:
• Provides students with the opportunity to experience what it's like to work at an agency as a copywriter and art director by creating an advertising campaign based on a creative brief provided by a sponsoring agency.
• Creates opportunities for networking with top local advertising professionals, who participate throughout the 4-day process as mentors and guides.
• There is no minimum GPA requirement to participate in this program. All students really need is creative ideas.
• Participants walk away with a solid advertising campaign to add to their portfolios.
• Provides free breakfast and lunch to all participants during the course of the workshop.
• Serves as a 4-day "crash course" internship by providing hands-on experience.
• Gives students the chance to compete for a guaranteed internship position at the sponsoring agency.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
