About D&AD
Founded in 1962, D&AD is an organisation that is all about the pursuit of creative excellence within advertising and design - inspiring it, celebrating it and enabling it. A fundamental way of us achieving this is through our world class learning programmes which upskill the current and future workforce.
Whilst our remit focuses on the advertising and design industry there is a broader goal, to demonstrate the positive impact that creativity can have across education, the economy and within society.
Purpose of job
We are looking to expand the team that delivers D&AD Shift with Google.
What is D&AD Shift with Google?
Shift exists to challenge the idea that there is only one route into a creative career. College/university fees and other systemic barriers have prevented some of the best talent from becoming part of our industry. The creative industry needs to change the way we recruit. We need to look at creating alternative pipelines and alternative education channels, in order to change the balance.
Shift is a different kind of talent program. A free, industry-led night-school for outstanding, untapped and fresh creatives who don’t have a college degree or industry networks but are looking to kick-start a creative career.
Meeting twice a week online and within agencies around the city, a group of 20 emerging creatives will work on briefs and creative challenges for 15 weeks, culminating in a showcase and paid placements.
Your role will be to work with our established Shift team to help make this incredible opportunity happen for the 5th year within New York.
