The Six


An experimental design residency created to refine and develop emerging talent in design and copy.

The program is highly collaborative in practice and meticulous in process with a purpose of creating marketing and advertising campaigns for real brands over a quarterly residency.

During the residency, the Six work together to concept, create, present, refine, and produce a creative campaign for a real-world brand and have full ownership of the creative to add to their portfolios.

Admission
Applications open every three months for the following quarter. Only six candidates per quarter will be accepted. After their residency, the Six will continue to have access to the alumni network and forums.

Process
The Six will work closely and collaboratively (remotely) to create a brand marketing campaign for a real brand with real processes, timelines, and productions led by tenured Creative Directors from Apple, Airbnb, and other global brands. Starting with a formal brief and ending with a completed campaign, experiencing every part of the process along the way.

Schedule
The Six work collectively among their fellow members working toward Creative Director check-ins for work approval and revisions. A brief, presentation files, deliverables, Slack comms channels, and materials are provided at no additional fee.

Fees & Funding
Upon acceptance as a member of the Six, a one-time tuition fee of $300.00 for admission is collected due on or before the first day of the program start date. This fee covers all three months of residency.
