Your Creative Folio is Your Passport to Agency Gigs

As any agency creative will tell you, a folio is the only one way to prove to the world you can think up great ideas and follow-through with great writing. For CWiA graduates who want to get their foot into agency doors, they go on to do Copywriting in Action’s sequel course — Creative Folio in Action.

During the 8 sessions, you work on compiling a quality folio designed to impress agencies around town, around the country and around the world. Some are Before & Afters (the befores are usually brought in by the participant keen on improving on it), others are from briefs provided in the course.

Below are some examples produced by Creative Folio in Action graduates in collaboration with me — their Creative Director and, in most cases, art director (working with them from concept to final layout). All works are hypothetical and images are strictly used for educational purposes. The aim is a creative folio that gets you remembered admirably and hired inevitably.

Fee: $925. To book into this program, please contact me via info@copywritinginaction.com.au to discuss your folio objectives and customise your timetable.
