"The introductory class helped me start developing ideas that are rooted in insight and concept rather than just execution. This class is a a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to how creative thinking works in advertising."

B. Oliver
Introductory '26

"My ads and ideas have become more focused and intentional from the Intro class. If you're serious about improving ideas and building a strong portfolio, this workshop is absolutely worth it. The feedback is thoughtful and direct, and it's a great environment to experiment, learn from others, and develop work that you'll be proud to include in a portfolio."

J. Gamboa
Introductory '26

"In the Intermediate class, I feel like I built stronger ideas and I am much more confident on what is required to build a successful campaign. It's a flexible class that's quite affordable in comparison to other programs. But it's extremely useful in learning what the job of a creative entails."

B. Franco
Intermediate '26

"Advanced One has helped me to understanding the skills it takes to move from ideation to execution and has open my eyes wide to what it takes to build my portfolio. This class will give you the insight needed to do so, and I believe I have gained a lot in moving forward on my work!"

J. Benson
Advanced One '25

"I can definitely see my campaigns getting stronger over time, especially after taking Advanced II. The way I approach coming up with ideas feels really different than at the beginning of the course. These courses have been incredibly helpful for my portfolio. I can really see my work starting to hit a stride and getting stronger with each class."

S. Shapiro
Advanced Two '26

"In Teams, my ideas and executions really improved this because of the repetition of taking this course twice now. Book Shop is for people who learn by doing. I resonate with all of the feedback because I know it's from people who work in the industry."

L. Egan
Teams '26

"I now feel like I have a solid portfolio of campaigns and ads that I can rely on for job applications and interviews. We've worked on a variety of companies and employed different tones and techniques over the last year. I would recommend Book Shop to anyone who is serious about working as a Copywriter or Art Director."

A. Halevy
Teams '26

"In the Copy class, I've learned so much about how to write for the specific types of copy based work I'll have to do in my career. This class helped me enhance so much of my portfolio as well as my website and the instructor is just an incredible writer and teacher."

P. Crawford
Copy '25

"The Art Direction Layout Instructor is wicked smart with design, intentional about his feedback and has many interesting takes and pivots that I wouldn't have thought of. My art direction completely leveled up. Highly recommend!"
