Thirty-six students have successfully graduated from the 2013 IPA Ad School; 19 from the Client Services/Planning programme, eight from the Creative programme and nine from the Search programme. The students were awarded at a graduation ceremony yesterday (Thursday 22nd August 2013).
The school, which began on 1st July, is unique, with successful students not only spending eight weeks being immersed in agency life, but also completing a group project and attending weekly evening sessions.
The 2013 Ad School received a record number of applications with 351 candidates applying. Several students have successfully secured longer placements and jobs in many of the agencies who have participated.
This year, students on the Client Services/Planning programme were asked to answer a brief, which they presented on Tuesday. The winners were Daughter, which consisted of team members Rebecca Jones (Leo Burnett), Chloe Gale (Leo Burnett), Kate Coulter (VCCPme), Adele Aitchison and Natnalin Thananan (both G2).
Team Daughter win the Client Services/Planning pitch competition.
