ADVERTISING DESIGN

Advertising connects people with world-changing ideas and influences culture and society. It’s not just “selling stuff” to consumers. It’s telling creative and inclusive stories that build brands, engage unique and/or diverse target markets, and inspire action and change in the world.

The Program

In CCS’s Advertising Design program, you’ll learn to tell stories and create content for multiple creative communications channels — like social media, video, print, digital, user interaction and experiences, mobile, experiential events and guerilla tactics—to solve problems, influence culture and bring impactful change to life.

To succeed in an industry with ever-changing rules and avenues, you’ll develop a range of tools, from strategic copywriting and storytelling techniques to the audience research and sociological analysis that will broaden your reach and impact.
