Get Creative Quick Masterclass
26 AUGUST | 6:00PM - 7:00PM | VIRTUAL
You’ve got the creativity — now learn how to make it land.
Stepping into the creative industry is exciting, but turning fresh ideas into real-world, commercially impactful work? That’s a skill in itself. This masterclass is here to help you build it.
Tailored for new-to-industry creatives, this one-hour session is your chance to learn directly from award-winning pros Ryan Clayton and Huei Yin Wong. They’ll walk you through how they approach actual briefs and what makes ideas effective in the real world.
You’ll get a practice brief ahead of the session. Submit your take, and Ryan and Huei will give honest, constructive feedback during the class. No roasts — just smart insights to help you grow faster.
Stick around for a Q&A at the end — ask anything from breaking into your first role to handling feedback and building a creative process that works.
If you’re just starting out and ready to build strong creative foundations, this is the masterclass that gets you moving in the right direction.
