Students

AADC works hard to inspire students to develop their careers through learning about, experiencing, and better understanding the industry.

We've implemented a range of programs that run each year, accessible to all students, regardless of age or employment.

Make sure you don't miss out on your chance to take part in any one of these programs, by signing up for free Student Membership to the Club.

AdVice is a new, in-person mentoring course designed to help the next generation of creatives sharpen their thinking, understand the industry and make better work.

Led by multi award-winning creative director James Rickard, the course is a four week, in-person experience built around feedback, real-world briefs and honest conversation.

This program is suitable for students in their 2nd, 3rd or post-grad year (as well as recently graduated talent).

You’ll walk away with a Certificate of Completion to add to your CV and the confidence to start building your creative career.

AdCrawl offers students an opportunity to follow a real creative brief from a client, from initial briefing right through to dispatch.

After receiving the brief, students hop on a bus and visit a Media Agency, Creative Agency, Production House and then Design Agency — all helping to craft final ideas to answer the brief.

Students then have 24 hours to work in pairs and craft their entry, before meeting in front of a high-profile billboard to see their work come to life on the big screen.

The AADC Awards are held each year, and we offer free entries to tertiary students in the categories of Idea and Craft.

Your work will be judged by a panel of leading experts from around Adelaide, and if awarded, shown on-screen in front of 200+ people from creative businesses all around town. Plus, you'll pick up a nice trophy!
