Droga5 Announces Return of D5in10 Academy to Drive New Wave of Creatives

Droga5 announces the return of the D5in10 Academy, the agency's free, 10-week course designed to teach creators of all disciplines the essence of advertising concepting, building campaigns, art direction and copywriting and more.

For the first semester of D5in10, which launched in 2017, Droga5 hosted 21 high-potential creatives from a mix of racial, cultural and professional backgrounds. The goal was to find people with a creative spark who hadn’t necessarily figured out where to apply their talents, had the opportunity to build a portfolio in advertising school or gotten a foot in the door at an ad agency to some capacity. The agency wanted to get them started in advertising by providing them with the tools to succeed through hands-on instruction from Droga5 creatives.

One of the biggest outcomes of the D5in10 Academy is that students now have a greater sense of confidence and structure in how they approach their creative work, regardless of whether or not they choose to pursue a job in the field of advertising. They have a strong understanding of strategy, ideation and execution and of how these three pillars work together in creative ideas.

Candidates who would like to apply need to fill out an application here. There are 20 spots available for high-potential creatives to participate in this free, 10-week session hosted at Droga5 in New York, starting on March 19th, 2019.
