Speaking of World Class

All this week, I’ll be studying in the Digital Creative Direction intensive at VCU’s Brandcenter. I attended the inaugural CD school four or five years ago and it was a life-changing experience. It’s an incredible honor to be a part of this class of exceptional CDs and to study directly under the tutelage of our industry’s most prolific creatives. Getting to do it for an entire week?  Wow.

Faculty:
Jeff Benjamin, Executive Interactive Creative Director, Crispin Porter
Jeff Gillette, CD, Google
Rick Webb, Co-Founder, The Barbarian Group
Lisa Bennett, Chief Creative Officer, DDB West
Pella and Calle Sjonell, Creative Directors, BBH
Lars Bastholm, Chief Digital Creative Officer, Ogilvy
Stan Joosten, Innovation Manager, P&G

It’s my plan to provide daily (errrr. . .nightly) updates here, so long as I don’t just collapse into bed after the group assignments and wine-soaked dinners. Hope to meet you here—

    Okay, I’m officially jealous.
    When you get back to Columbia ready to impart that wisdom you’ve gained, be sure to reach out to me. I can’t wait to sponge some of that from you. :-)

    That’s what I love about you guys. As impeccable as your reputation is, you are never sitting back and resting on it. (Reputation = nice word for duff).

    Hats off to you Cathy.
