Does anyone have any experience with the Denver Ad School or the Job Propulsion Lab? Both look like solid programs for getting a career in agency copywriting.

If money is no object it’s goes:

1) VCU brandcenter
2) miami ad school(toss up miami or Sf)
3) Denver
4) Chicago portfolio or book180

Idk anyone who came out of the Job propulsion lab. The books out of Demeter are meh IMO but their getting jobs (cept those 2 who just went to WK PDX their books are actually fire and I’m jealous of them)

But also the dude who started Denver is toxic as all hell so you gotta deal with that

You’ll get a great book at Denver but they’re $$$. They offer a lot of scholarships but it seems like they up the tuition for everyone in order to do so? Idk. And agreed the Twitter rant was super weird. I’ve seen a lot of good things about Book180 lately but they’re brand new.

I don't have experience with either, but I did appreciate this thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/advertising/comments/cyqeiq/ama_with_denver_ad_school/

I have a friend who teaches at Denver Ad School (he’s great) and my account recently hired a team out of there. Their books were great and they’re a really strong junior team. I’m also familiar with Job Propulsion Lab (have been involved with it in the past). I think Denver is a better option. I didn’t attend either, for full transparency.
