July 26 2021, 9:00 am | BY Ricki Green | No Comments Ad industry education charity D&AD has today announced the launch of the inaugural D&AD Shift with Google program in Sydney. Running in London and New York since 2016, Shift is D&AD’s FREE four month industry-led night school which aims to uncover, support and ultimately help secure jobs for self-made creative talent without a traditional degree qualification.
Supported by the local Sydney industry, the program champions unique and underrepresented voices to challenge the assumption that great creative talent can only be found within a small number of universities and communities. The Sydney program will see D&AD partner with adidas to set a ‘brief in a day’, which will enable participants to develop their portfolios and creative approaches, while giving them direct access to the brand’s creative teams.
