Droga5 kicked off D5in10 in 2017, hosting 20 high-potential creatives from a mix of racial, cultural and professional backgrounds. Now, the agency is opening up applications for high-potential creatives to participate in this free, 10-week session hosted virtually, starting on March 24, 2022.
How do people apply? No advertising portfolio, no problem. They just need to show the agency who they are creatively.
Interested candidates need to fill out an application here and show whatever form of creative output they believe best represents them.
The goal of the programme is to find people with a creative spark who hadn’t necessarily figured out where to apply their talents, had the opportunity to build a portfolio in advertising school or gotten a foot in the door at an ad agency to some capacity.
One of the biggest outcomes of the D5in10 Academy is that students now have a greater sense of confidence and structure in how they approach their creative work, regardless of whether or not they choose to pursue a job in the field of advertising. The programme has been such a success with several students moving on to creative industry-related careers at companies such as DDB, Publicis, SJR and of course, Droga5.
