D&AD Masterclasses

D&AD Masterclasses power up careers and future-proof businesses by focusing on the creative skills of tomorrow, taught by the stars of today. Delivered online and offline, our creative learning programme connects you directly to the people consistently making the most outstanding work.

These sessions are designed for individuals. If you're looking to book for groups of 5 or more people, try our masterclasses for teams.

Together, we explore the boundaries of creativity across four areas: Mindset, Industry Insight, Creative Skills and Culture & Technology.

D&AD Masterclasses go beyond the classroom, immersing delegates in a practical experience where they learn by doing and putting their learnings into practice - both during the session and immediately upon returning to the office.

Creative Skills

All you need to know to ensure your work achieves creative excellence, has an impact and moves your audience. Perfect your art direction skills, get under the bonnet of branding and hone your design skills.

Industry Insight

Learn how to harness creativity to gain a competitive advantage, sell your ideas and build better working relationships. Understand the power of creativity and boost your creative leadership skills.

Mindset

Technical skills can only go so far without the mindset needed to make the best work possible. Unleash your best ideas by building your resilience, confidence and creative bravery.

Culture & Tech

Ensure your work is consistently relevant by learning from culture and the technology that is evolving around us, as well as the key opportunities for the year ahead in our revolving insight sessions.
