The Sri Lanka Professional Advertising and Creativity School (SPAACS)
at Thimbirigasya ya set alight the Sri Lankan advertising industry as
the first and only academy solely dedicated to training and guiding a
new generation in the multi-faceted art of advertising.
SPAACS is open to all those with a knack for being creative
individuals with a passion for sharing ideas. Initiated with the
assistance of the Triad Group of Companies, lessons at SPAACS are
conducted by some of the biggest names in advertising and offers
students with comprehensive courses in all aspects of Advertising Agency
operations including Client Servicing, Account Planning, Creative and
Production.
"The advertising industry is a highly skilled and progressive
industry and is comparable with any other. Unfortunately there is little
known of the vast opportunities for youngsters in brand communications
because there is a misconception that you have to be a good artist or
writer to make a career in advertising.
It takes a lot more than that to be a successful ad professional in
the 21st century.
I congratulate Triad and Sarva Integrated on their noble initiative
to educate and introduce youngsters to the challenging world of
advertising" said CEO, JWT Thayalan Bartlett speaking of SPAACS.
"Through SPAACS, the entire advertising community comes together to
share their knowledge with a whole new generation" said President IAA
Imal Fonseka. All classes will be conducted by renowned professionals in
the Advertising industry, with a Basic Course for beginners and several
Advanced Courses for specialised skills, and special sessions by well
known Ad Gurus on a number of varied topics. |
