ONE School

Obviously, we think ONE School is the best, but don't just take our word for it... talk to our alumni! Meet Tiffany Linton-Morris Atlanta Fall 2023 Grad "ONE School helped me develop both professional and creative skills with a deeper understanding of Black culture's impact on advertising. I honed my brainstorming abilities while collaborating with like-minded creatives. I'm especially grateful to my mentors, Cedric, Clarence, and Sherman, for their expertise, resources, and guidance. Though I miss those Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5-9 PM, I felt a great sense of accomplishment when the program ended. What I learned from the ONE School team has allowed me to advance in ways I never imagined, opening so many doors for me. I'm ready to reach even greater heights. I'm quite thrilled to mention that I accepted my first official Junior Copywriter position on the same day that ONE School began for me. It was a transformative experience, but I put what I learned into practice while taking on both creative roles as a full-time copywriter and student. While still attending ONE School, I was able to work on my first Super Bowl campaign as a member of the OKRP (now BarkleyOKRP) team. This endeavor taught me the value of diversity, professionalism, and punctuality. It also taught me not to limit my ideas. It's been a blessing to contribute to this project. Many more to come!"

We love our grads! Check out Alise Crittendon, ONE School Fall 2021 graduate and now a copywriter. "ONE School was the boost I needed to create a portfolio and land a full-time creative role out of college. I was recruited for my Copywriter role at Edelman through ONE School, and I’ve carried that experience with me ever since. I found my voice as a copywriter and learned creative problem-solving skills that have helped me excel. Most importantly, I left with a community of Black creatives who support each other as we navigate our careers together."

The New York Times recently published an article titled "The ‘Mad Men’ Era Is Long Over. Why Is Advertising Still So White?" This piece highlights the persistent lack of diversity in the advertising industry, despite the cultural shift away from the predominantly white "Mad Men" era.

Today kicks off class for the Spring 2024 Cohort of ONE School & I’ll be the friendly tutor assistant this year 🤗 Very excited to be working alongside of the highly esteemed Ramon Ariel D. for the NY classes and reuniting with the ONE School fam in a whole new way 🫡

DAY 2 Of Posting My ONE School Briefs I had to create a PR moment for Liquid Death that highlights their anti-plastic pollution, pro-Earth stance. So I thought about creating a whole animated series featuring a rock band called "THE SHREDERZ".
