Commenting on the creative academy, Group creative director, Insight Redefini, Sinmisola Hughes-Obisesan noted that, “we are thrilled to launch this creative enterprise and are committed to producing brilliant, passionate, and dexterous creative professionals from our Creative Interns Academy.
“The course content, both theoretical and practical, has been designed to cover every aspect of the creative chain, from ideation all the way to production, to ensure our interns get holistic and robust training across the entire creative process.”
Sinmisola noted that, “Insight Publicis has developed a world-class creative curriculum to ensure the interns are positioned to be seamlessly onboarded onto projects for both global and local clients upon completion of their training and final assessment.”
