CREATIVE BOOT CAMPS - WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU'RE A…

Student

As a student, the creative process is intense. You will work with a team with students from other schools to develop and present a creative advertising campaign. You can expect to make new connections and walk away with new insights into creative advertising. Most importantly, you will work your imagination to the core. Check out our website to find out more information and get insights from past participants.

Breakfast and lunch will be served each day. We ask that each student bring anything they feel will assist them in taking full advantage of their creative abilities and to execute their campaign. Suggested items include a laptop, pen, pencil, paper, a digital camera/video recording device and a drawing pad.

You will spend most of your time indoors working on your campaign. Wear clothes that are comfortable. Jeans and T-shirts are fine; however, on presentation day, you should dress to impress the judges.

The Ground Rules: Ensure each member of your team receives equal time to voice their opinion. Show respect at all times, even when you disagree with their ideas.
