ADVERTISING DESIGN

Advertising is more than just the Fortune 500 company’s new campaign. It’s about innovative approaches to persuasion that stir emotion and influence cultural change.

The Program

Advertising students devise strategies to capture popular imagination through the integration of digital and social media, content creation and user experience, and print and television.

Whether students are interested in pursuing art direction or copywriting, they learn from industry leaders and begin building professional portfolios from day one. They create immersive user experiences, working in teams, using research, consumer insights and a range of technology. Although much of advertising revolves around reaching a target market and being able to sell a product through a variety of tactics, it also requires extremely high-level design ability. At CCS you will learn design from some of the greatest art directors in the world.
