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.
