AAA School of Advertising

Award-winning strategist Zesintu Mgobhozi operates at the intersection of art, fashion and culture – taking African ideas, talent and excellence to a global audience.

This Women’s Month,we're celebrating the women who walked these halls.

Last week, we came together for our Women’s Day celebration, creating space for connection, appreciation and plenty of memorable moments.

They entered AAA with talent, ambition, and ideas of their own.

What followed were eight very different journeys – across creativity, strategy, media, technology, culture, business, and leadership.

This Women's Month, we're celebrating the women behind those journeys.

This week, our students got a closer look at the realities of building a career in advertising, hearing from industry professionals about the opportunities, pathways and possibilities that exist beyond the classroom. From discovering how Ogilvy’s OG Graduate Programme can take graduates into the industry, to hearing from our very own AAA alumnus, Andrew Mkandla, reflect on his own evolution from traditional animation and broadcast design to creative direction and AI integration, students saw just how many directions a creative career can take.

The question isn't whether marketing will change… The question is whether you'll change with it. After years of leading digital campaigns, our alum Marsha Ann is still investing in her growth and preparing to enroll in our online Masters in Digital Marketing.

Everyone talks about being "industry-ready”... Our students spend their weeks actually being in the industry. One day it's learning from the brilliant minds at Retroviral, the next it's an agency visit, a live brief, or an industry competition.

By the time our students graduate, they've already experienced how the advertising and marketing world's operate beyond the classroom.
