If you're an Ad2/NDAC member with one+ years of experience, upload a PDF of your three strongest portfolio pieces. We'll pick the brightest writers and art directors, pair them off, and hook them up with industry leaders like Mike Sukle of Sukle, Jonathan Schoenberg of TDA, and Leif Steiner of Moxie Sozo.

It won't be easy. It won't always be nice. But by the end of NEXT, you’ll have a book strong enough to bend steel (or at least impress those worth impressing).

The only question is: can you handle it?

How You Become Next.

Applications are due by midnight on March 15th, 2010. The program starts April 15th and runs through May 20th. NEXT is FREE with paid professional membership in Ad2 Denver and the New Denver Ad Club. If you're not yet a member, join today.

How it works.

NEXT is divided into three two-week cycles, in which during week one teams will pick a product, write its creative brief, and present first round concepts to the creative director and class. Week two will see teams pushing their concepts and presenting final (or near final) proofs to the creative director and class. Participants are expected to have a firm understanding of ad strategy before enrollment. (You don’t have to be an account planning guru, but you should be familiar with the core concepts of ad strategy).
