Getting out the best of people

There is more to this school beyond intensive training and competitions. We truly care for the wellbeing of the young talents, for we think that if their world is harmonious and at peace, the product of their work is mirroring it beautifully. We looked at the world of the upcoming bright creatives, listen for their needs, so, through various programs, from Cannes Rehab, Creative Dinner, #TalentBet, TalentMagnet, Portfolio Feedback or in 1-to-1 career path consultancy, we offered them a holistic thriving guidance, from personal to professional. Are you a young talent in search for a reference system? Are you talented, ambitious, willing to learn and you are passionate about zillion disciplines connected to creativity and in search for your tribe? Do you need an internship that can open eyes & doors? Are you an accomplished talent, with relevant experience, but you need some guidance for the next level in your career path? We are here for you, be it for recruitment, portfolio feedbacks, career advisory or just as artful listeners beyond words, to later help you out with meaningful guidance.

What mentees have to say

Irina Serbulea
I enrolled for the school and ended up in Eurobest. But things didn’t stop there. The School’s founder got me an interview to a hype agency in the exact moment I was looking for a job. Got it and, additionally, got meaningful career advice in a EQ & IQ set up that kept being relevant long after. #TheAlternativeSchool is a nurturing place, the cocoon where you can get not only the knowledge, but the courage to live your passion. After Eurobesat, I’ve created, together with my graphic designer teammate (Daria), my dream project – @antropice, an Instagram page which organically grew up to 21k at that time. Subsequently, as a result of this experience, me and Daria conducted a copywriting and graphic design workshop for the students at the University of Timișoara. And now, at my current job, I encourage my colleagues who are just starting their careers to enroll also!it’s a lifelong love story.

I loved the small community born after this experience, even if we’ve worked remotely. When I grow up I wanna be just like Davor Bruketa, that’s for sure. Practically, this man is exactly what I picture a creative should be like – with contagious energy, a bit of craziness, lack of consciousness (in a good and calculated way), and a loooot of imagination. As a creative, you have to push your limits constantly, and this is a perfect opportunity to do so. This, and the fact that you can stand out from the crowd and use your abilities in a competitive and creative setup. Should I mention here the personal branding dedicated photoshoot with the one and only Dragos Toader and the coaching sessions, alongside recruitment, a fabulous shortcut to the hippest agencies on the market? I should. This school is the perfect 360 degrees’ platform that makes you sweat, while taking out in the light the best of you.

You think that the alternative school's just about creativity & communication? Think again. It was one of my gateways to real guidance whenever I thought I was stuck. Mentorship isn’t just advice. It’s giving chances – just like I was given when I first started in this industry: a job interview here, a valuable advice on a tough topic there. From a junior mentee to the school trainer and eventually to entrepreneurship, #TheAlternativeSchool and its founder were on my path in the past four amazing years. Dive in, give yourself a shot and uncover who you truly are and where you want to go. I did, and now I'm leading my own creative agency. #QED
