Two years ago, D&AD Shift changed my life, opening doors I never thought possible and giving me the tools to shape my creative career. On Thursday, I had the privilege of witnessing another group of 20 talented young creatives celebrate their graduation from the programme. Being in the room reminded me exactly why The Junior is dedicated to building a better industry for junior and emerging creatives. You don’t need a degree to be a creative—you need passion, determination, and the right skill set to make things happen. Programmes like D&AD Shift are proof that there’s another path, one that welcomes diverse voices and unique perspectives. Now, it’s up to the creative industry to welcome these graduates, to embrace their talents, and to create space for them to do incredible work. These 20 stellar creatives are ready to make their mark—let’s ensure they get the opportunity they deserve. - D&AD Shift reposted this

It's hard to choose favourites, but this night is up there as one of the best of the year for us! Last week we had the pleasure of hosting our third D&AD Shift event, where we introduced this year’s cohort to the world of experiential marketing and gave them a taste of Smyle’s role within it. We love sharing our passion and inspiring those who might not have considered this career path to dive into our creative world. The evening was filled with joy, talent, energy and so much creativity. We can’t wait to see all the wonderful things this group will go on to achieve! 🤩#ShiftCreativity #WeAreSmyle- +2

Last night was the D&AD Shift Sydney Showcase 2024. It was an evening celebrating emerging talent and the fresh perspective they have to offer our industry. It was an evening of nibbles and bubbles too, which is also nice.Havas Host had a few mentors in the mix this year – Anastasia Simone helped out in Melbourne and I was stoked to have Seded A as my mentee here in Sydney. Thanks for the opportunity Lauren Chibert 🙏 Seded is pursuing a career in strategy, so if any of my planning buddies out there need some help, drop him a DM or check out his contact deets here: https://www.seded.com.au/Seded is also an accomplished photographer, so win, win, right?

I’m feeling so grateful and blessed to have been apart of D&AD Shift 2024. Shift is an award-winning, free industry-led night school designed for self-taught creatives breaking into the advertising, design, and creative industries outside of traditional education. Over the past 4 months, myself and 17 other incredibly talented Shifters have spent over 150 hours together tackling briefs set by We Are Warriors, Mastercard, and Pepsi. It’s been challenging, fun and super rewarding. Last night we had our Showcase, celebrating all our hard work. I’m so proud of everything that we have created and it’s been so rad to see how much we’ve all grown. Special thanks to the amazing team behind Shift, especially Lauren Chibert and Minori Ueda, for their incredible direction and guidance throughout this journey. Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity! D&ADCheck out my site if you'd like to see some of the work I did - The Sydney Shifters have tackled their third and final brief! Huge thanks to Miriam Wells, Anna Thairs, Julian Schreiber, and Millicent Malcolm for supporting them on the day. Not long now until we see these Shifters graduate and share their brilliant work at the end of programme Showcase.

On Saturday the Shifters took on Brief in a Day; a 1-day intensive where they received the client brief, ideated, executed, and pitched, all between 9-5. It was fast-paced and high pressure, yet these Shifters all thrived. In small groups they worked together as tight creative teams to collaborate and develop their brilliant creative ideas, with the winning group walking away with a (paper) D&AD pencil - first of many! A huge thanks to our industry mentors for keeping the nerves at bay and encouraging creativity: Julian Schreiber, Miriam Wells, Anna Thairs, Millicent Malcolm. Special thanks to Julian Schreiber for helping us secure an excellent client brief from Pepsi, and Miriam Wells for hosting us at Ogilvy Australia. - The Sydney Shifters recently met on Gadigal land (Sydney) to receive their first brief from We Are Warriors in collaboration with R/GA. Over the next two months they'll work in their groups to develop their ideas before finally pitching to their clients. We can't wait to see what innovative ideas they come up with! Big thanks to the R/GA team for hosting us, and to our Shift ECDs Julian Schreiber and Anna Thairs for joining and sharing your wisdom.
