Dream of being a big earning creative guru?

Don't give up your day job. Some of the top creatives in the business mentor at SCA, and we’d like to invite you to join them. Our unique learning model is based on students getting to meet and learn from industry professionals throughout the year

I think Marc's real strength is picking up what people are feeling or thinking at any one time, which makes him great at guiding us through highs and lows. Marc is also very, very good at showing us (not teaching or preaching, and this is an important difference) the slightly paradoxical mindset that exists in creativity.

Secure Your Place Today
Month 1 - Build Your Creative Foundation

In month one we start by laying strong creative foundations—because great work begins with clear direction.
In your first month, you'll:

  • Define your creative identity and clarify what you want to say (and how you want to say it).
  • Explore what makes an idea stand out, learning techniques to spark originality and impact.
  • Find inspiration everywhere, and train yourself to think like a creative strategist.
  • Craft compelling propositions that bring campaigns to life with meaning and emotional punch.
  • Understand what makes brands resonate, so you can build work that feels relevant, authentic, and memorable.

By the end of month one, you won’t just be absorbing information—you’ll be creating with confidence, backed by a clear sense of direction and purpose.

Month 2 - Understanding Audiences

In month two, you’ll start moving from ideas to execution — the point where creativity begins to take shape. Here’s what that looks like:

  • Bring big ideas to life through visual communication. Learn how to translate abstract concepts into compelling, visual storytelling that captures attention and drives action.
  • Understand your audience deeply. Go beyond surface demographics by exploring behaviour, motivation, and intent. You’ll build detailed personas that sharpen your thinking and make your work more relevant, strategic, and effective.
  • Work like the pros. Use hands-on methods to generate bold, original ideas with real impact. These aren’t just academic exercises — they mirror the same thinking and creative processes used in top agencies today.
  • Master the power of typography. Discover how font choice can instantly change a brand’s tone of voice. Through guided exercises, you’ll train your eye and learn how to use type intentionally — giving your work polish, personality, and purpose.
Month 3 - From Concept to Campaign

By month 3, you’ll move beyond simply generating ideas—you’ll be shaping campaigns that truly stand out. This stage is all about translating creativity into commercial impact, and it’s often where many portfolios fall short. Yours won’t.

Here’s what you’ll master:

  • Persuasive copywriting grounded in psychology. Learn to craft headlines, straplines, and copy that inspire action—not just attention.
  • The power of photography in storytelling. Explore how image selection, art direction, and visual cohesion can elevate a campaign from good to unforgettable.
  • Creating media-worthy ideas. Discover how to develop concepts that attract attention, generate buzz, and cut through the noise—without needing big budgets.
  • Sharpening your strategic thinking. Apply structured feedback frameworks to refine your work. Learn how to evaluate ideas like a Creative Director and ensure every element serves a purpose.
Month 4 - Elevate Your Craft — From Good to Great

By month four, you're not just creating — you're shaping standout work that reflects industry-level thinking and execution. This module is all about refinement, confidence, and control over your creative output.

Here’s what you’ll master:

  • Advanced visual techniques. Learn to apply alignment, hierarchy, and whitespace to create clean, compelling, and high-impact layouts that feel polished and professional.
  • Storytelling that connects. Go beyond the visuals. Discover how to craft emotionally resonant stories that elevate your campaign ideas and give your portfolio real depth.
  • Strategic iteration. Use structured feedback sessions to refine your work with intention, improving clarity, concept strength, and execution at every stage.
  • Executional excellence. Understand what separates good from great. Learn how to deliver campaign-ready concepts that meet industry expectations and impress creative directors.
  • Portfolio-worthy results. Walk away with work that isn’t just creative — it’s polished, professional, and ready to showcase.

By the end of this month, you’ll have the tools and confidence to bring your ideas to life at the highest standard — and the portfolio pieces to prove it.

Month 5 - Build a Portfolio That Opens Doors

By month 5, you'll focus on creating a portfolio that not only showcases your skills but truly reflects who you are as a creative.

What you’ll gain:

  • Tailored, hands-on feedback. Get structured one-to-one guidance, peer reviews, and live critiques to refine your work and perfect your presentation.
  • Crafting a compelling narrative. Learn how to present your work strategically, building a story around your projects that reflects both your creativity and professionalism.
  • Master the art of design. Understand the importance of layout, visual hierarchy, and whitespace in creating an easy-to-navigate, impactful portfolio that captures attention.
  • Polish your work for impact. End the month with a professionally curated portfolio that’s ready to impress hiring managers, creative directors, and clients.

By the end of the month, your portfolio won’t just be a collection of work — it’ll be a strategic, industry-ready tool that shows your potential in its best light.

Month 6 - Final Showcase Preparation

As you approach the final month of Creativity Unlocked, our focus shifts to ensuring your creative work is ready to make a lasting impression in the competitive industry. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Refine Your Work to Perfection: Fine-tune every detail of your campaign execution, enhance your visuals, and perfect your messaging to ensure your portfolio is polished and industry-ready.
  • Gain Confidence in Presentations: Learn how to confidently present your ideas and portfolio to industry professionals, preparing you for your final showcase and future career opportunities.
  • Receive Tailored Mentorship: Benefit from personalised feedback and expert guidance to help you deliver a standout presentation that showcases your growth and creative abilities.

By the end of this course, you’ll have:

  • A professional portfolio that reflects your skills and creativity.
  • The confidence to present your ideas with authority.
  • The expertise needed to pursue both agency roles and freelance opportunities with success.

SCA 2.0 was the starting point of my entrepreneurial journey and gave me the foundation to build and eventually sell my business. Marc, the mentors, and my classmates inspired a full-stack mindset—creative, strategic, and hands-on. Ten years later, I still use the skills I learned every single day.
