“Advertising is not a profession.”

Richard Huntington

You learn by doing.

Especially whenthere’s someone to

look after you.

Two problems:

1. You learn into an imperfect system

2. How the f**k do you get into the system?

1. The system

Mediocre Brief

Little time for ideas

Poor feedback

Lots of revisions

Even less time for ideas

Even poorer feedback

Gets approved

You shoot

Don’t recognize your idea

Mediocre brief

Literally, you do not have the right setup for learning

2. How do you get into the system?

Perception: “hard to get into advertising”

Reality: “it’s not hard, only a bit too mysterious”

it’s the result of a (dubious) recruitment process

and not the outcome of a transparent selection process

3. How does advertising get the best talent?

trial and error

solution

a tool that offers the benefits of the system

without its shortcomings

a tool that offers a straight path from talent to

advertising

and a straight path from advertising to talent
