Denver Ad School

We’re the Denver Ad School, or DAD for short. We’re a post-grad advertising portfolio school that offers masters-level programs in art direction, copywriting, and strategy. We pack a lot into our intensive 16-month program to mold you into the most prepared, knowledgeable, and skilled junior creative an ad agency has ever seen — which is to say, we’ll help you stand out and be a hell of a lot more hireable than you are right now. In five quarters with us you’ll learn everything you need to know to succeed in the advertising industry, create an agency-ready portfolio consisting of deep, fully-integrated ad campaigns, and then we’ll use that portfolio to help get you your first big agency job. DAD is structured to be just like a real, working ad agency with active industry professionals leading all of our classes just like they lead their own teams at work, so when you leave here and begin your career you’ll already be up to agency speed. The truth is we’re quicker, more affordable, our curriculum is deeper, and our teachers have more real-world experience than your average university master’s program. Ad agencies don’t care if you have a degree or not, let alone a masters, so why would you willingly put yourself through more college when you could focus on the real thing at a portfolio school?
