JACOB THOMPSON
I feel like Prometheus. I’m just here to steal embers from yesterday’s creative giants and spark inspirational wildfires in the world.
Goals Working in Ad Industry:
Advertising gets a bad rap. Everyone thinks the industry is full of sleazy conmen, who brainwash society into materialistic addictions. The Ad program taught me good advertising is the exact opposite of what people think. Advertising is communicating the truth. Our job is to find the truth and use it to create. That’s what I want to do! I want to create art that opens the world’s eyes to our amazing universe. Advertising forces me to simplify until there’s nothing left except the bare-bones of an idea. Sharing a valuable idea with the world. . . priceless.
Commitment to Creative Track:
The culture of the Creative track is singular and I am willing to contribute all of my unique experiences and skills to see it grow. I’m so excited to give my time and energy. Spending hours to beat an idea to death, no sweat. Multiple sleepless nights to perfect an ad’s typography, you bet. 17 months of high quality work before graduation, you’ve found your cadet.
