I didn’t realize how many connections I would gain for my future self.”

Class of 2021.
“During the summer of 2021, I spent an amazing six weeks as a paid apprentice with Ogilvy. I learned so much about advertising through a hands-on experience. My peers and I were able to pitch advertisement ideas weekly for established companies. Each company also had a different goal for its brand, which allowed me to adjust to thinking outside the box. The exercises also challenged my creative thinking and time management skills. I was able to learn and grow as an artist because of all the constructive feedback I received.
Thanks to Ogilvy, I gained insight into marketing as a high school graduate and opened my eyes to many possibilities for my future. Overall, I highly recommend this program to students because it truly is a rare educational opportunity and a chance to make connections with people in your prospective field. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”

“I really had fun. After spending that month with you guys I learned so much. If any of the participants for this year are skeptical on whether to apply or not, tell them I said it's a no-brainer decision. Each program –Accounting, Strategic, Creative/Production– had something to offer and all of the mentors were friendly and understanding. Plus, for all of the participants that are planning on going to college for marketing or advertising (like myself), "Ogilvy School of Creativity" looks really good on a resume! I'm very satisfied with this program. 10 out of 10, would recommend!”

“The OSC was such a great experience and opportunity to learn so much about the advertising industry and what important roles are key to be successful. I also learned about how they can provide such an impact based on a vision. Most importantly, I had the honor to meet and learn from my talented mentor Damon Lockett. He helped me understand even more about the industry and how we can collaborate as a team to bring a vision to life. His advice helped us to think outside the box to send the message to the audience. Damon has been such a great mentor! Thank you!”
