AXIS ADSCHOOL END-OF-YEAR SHOW : Happy Days

2007 was another great year for AXIS Adschool - fabulously successful as far as the students were concerned, with a healthy haul of student awards both here and abroad, one of our best ever end-of-year shows, and with most graduates now happily ensconced in placements, some having several in the pipeline.

So it's clear that the ramping up of Direct as part of the curriculum has already begun to bear fruit.

It gets better - as part of our mid-year review, we took a look at our record over the previous seven years to discover that 69% of our graduates have scored real jobs in real agencies. Not 'placements' or 'internships' or 'work experience', but real jobs.

What's more, our students' enviable history of doing award-winning work during the course has kept on once they're in the job.

Just for fun, I calculated that if all the AXIS awards won by AXIS Adschool graduates this year had been won by one agency, that agency would have had pretty much the highest overall tally. And as for Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Clio, Adfest, AWARD etc...

So happy days all round, with many thanks due to everyone in industry who came in to help. More details of what we got up to can be found at www.axisadschool.co.nz which has recently been upgraded and has loads of goodies for your delectation.

Meanwhile, have a great Christmas - we know we shall! - David Bell (dbell@mediadesignschool.co.nz)
