Hey friend!
Not gonna lie, I've never been more excited about this whole thing. A year ago taught my first bootcamp for art directors, and now I truly think we are building the future of art direction education...
A new session of NEXT Art Director: The October Bootcamp starts Tuesday, which means this is the last weekend to join the October cohort and the last session of the year.
I’ve been putting a ton into this session. It’s starting to feel like we're building the art direction school that shouldve always existed.
A few things making October especially good:
First, I’ve been building something new...
I call it, Iris™
October Bootcamp students are going to be the first people to get access. More on this very soon...
We also have an insane guest joining us.
Bianca Guimaraes, Partner + ECD at Mischief, is joining us for a live guest session. She comes from an art director background and I'm obsessed with her work, so excited for bootcamp students to get to pick her brain.
And the mentor lineup is looking so strong:
Kay Beck is joining us as a new Bootcamp mentor. She’s an Art Director at Amazon's Brand Innovation Lab (we worked together 🤘), and I’m really excited for her to bring her experience and perspective into the program.
Cole Davis is returning as a mentor, bringing his experience as an Associate Creative Director at Grey and instructor at Miami Ad School. He gives incredibly detailed feedback, and I’m excited for this group to get more time with him.
If you want to be part of the last NEXT Art Director Bootcamp of 2026, enroll now! Video lessons become available immediately, and there's a bunch to dive into before our first live class on Tuesday.
Whether you're joining or not, I'm so stoked for the future of this platform. Let's make this the best month of the year!
Jason 🤘
