CCAD Student Agency
Pick up real-world experience and a paycheck.
The award-winning CCAD Student Agency is an integral part of Columbus College of Art & Design’s Marketing & Communications team. As a Student Agency employee, you’ll not only get a head start in your professional career, you’ll play a major role at CCAD—and help us make an impact in central Ohio and far beyond. The eye-catching work made by our Student Agency videographers, illustrators, animators, and designers doesn’t just win awards (although they certainly do that). They change lives. (See a sampling of our best-of-the-best work below.)
Our Student Agency has swag. And they make it, too.
The CCAD Student Agency is the source for Columbus College of Art & Design gear at Ampersand Emporium. Throwback sweatshirts, normcore baseball caps, and coffee mugs that will give you a jolt are just a few of the items that you can find at Ampersand Emporium. (And yep, our graphic designers, illustrators, and others designed this catalog for the store, too.)
As a CCAD Student Agency employee, you’ll work for real clients, making work that will get you real attention (and submissions in the professional category of marketing and design competitions).
As a CCAD Student Agency employee, you will have:
- Access to member-exclusive Columbus Society of Communicating Arts (CSCA) events
- The opportunity to provide creative direction on collaborative projects with such organizations as the Greater Columbus Arts Council, Experience Columbus, and the Short North Alliance
- Ability to give vision to and impact CCAD on a daily basis through Admissions marketing materials, environmental branding, and more
- A chance to work across creative disciplines
- 24/7 access to the Student Agency office in Canzani Center
In other words, a paycheck is just the start of what you’ll get from working for the CCAD Student Agency.
