Good to see our female creatives well represented.
Digital copywriter.
Surely you are a copywriter – irrespective of media or platform.
Am I missing something??
I heard today that the cost of MAS is about $35000 a year.
Here’s me thinking the cost of AWARD School is hard to justify.
I hope the tutors are being paid a commensurate amount.
I used to be a CD and one of my pet hates was that everyone trying to get into the industry was cut from the same privileged/family-connected cloth.
Were I still hiring, I’d take a dim view of every MAS ‘graduate’ since $35k tuition tends to winnow the talent towards those who can pay.
Very depressing.
