I know someone who went there and had a good experience. However, a lot of it is what you’re willing to put into it - and she had some partners who were definitely just wasting their money, not willing to help on projects at all. But she came out with a decent book and got a job

Going to denver ad rn, guy who started it needs to chill on social but my quarter is doing really good work and i think the portfolios/job placement speaks for itself. Like all school you only get out what you put into it tho

yeah whoever runs their twit has a chip on their shoulder. agree about it being what you put into it but that’s any ad program really.

if you’re already working somewhere is there a resource manager or someone you can talk to about switching gears vs going to ad school and spending money?

When you manage budgets do you know what the hardest thing to do is? Spend money. Cause it’s all you are looking at.

It’s pretty tough to build out a whole book that too shops will want by yourself. If you have the grit for it, go for it. But Denver Ad might not be a bad move if you have money to spend.

Yeah it definitely helps to have teachers, fellow students, and potential partners to work and learn from. A good book should probably include 4-5 fully fleshed out ad campaigns and then 2-5 side projects. The sheer volume and craft involved takes a while. Plus once you finish your book, the real challenge of getting any agency’s attention is very difficult. More than happy to chat over dm!

Hmm haven't heard about them. I will ask around for you.
