AWARD School Auckland set for July launch – headed by DDB’s Fedyszyn and McMahon
AWARD School, powered by the Communications Council, is set to head over to Auckland. The prestigious 16 week course will launch in Auckland and start late July.
The programme will be headed by DDB New Zealand’s creative duo Lisa Fedyszyn and Jonathan McMahon (pictured), graduates of Melbourne AWARD School back in 2002, now one of the hottest teams in the world.
“We’re very excited to be School Heads for Auckland. As ex students we both know the value of the programme, and it’s great to be able to give something back,” says Fedyszyn on the appointment of her and McMahon as AWARD School NZ heads.
In previous years the AWARD School programme has been offered in Wellington and now for the first time in Auckland. “AWARD School is widely recognised in the region as nurturing generations of successful young talent in the creative industries. The short 16 week programme will be tailored to suit the Auckland market which we believe will complement the longer term training programmes already available in Auckland”, says Daniel Leesong, CEO, The Communications Council.
“It’s great for the industry to add AWARD School to the training mix, I have worked with some fantastic creatives who are AWARD School graduates and Droga5 looks forward to supporting the industry programme locally”, says Guy Roberts, creative director, Droga5, Auckland.
The application brief and entry criteria will be available to download from www.awardschool.co.nz on Friday 20th May 2011.

Wow. Lisa is gorgeous. Mercy.
Congratulations Lisa and Jonathan for starting up AWARD School in Auckland.
Also thanks to those top creatives you’ve wrangled to share their knowledge.
Not all graduates will find jobs in agencies but what the training does is fan the creative spark within them. It gives them the knowledge and emerging confidence to believe in their ability, themselves and to pursue their creativity in many other creative applications. I’ve seen it many times.
Regards,
Ray.
