What is your imagination of the future advertising world? Also, identify one task in your advertising career that you would gladly hand over to AI, and one that you would protect as exclusively human.

Note: We read hundreds of applications. Essays largely written by AI and featuring generic clichés about the future of AI will receive low evaluations. We want to hear your unique voice and authentic perspective. Show us how you think, not how an LLM writes.

Application Deadline

Priority round: 7 December 2026

Final round: 18 January 2027

Applications will be processed on a rolling basis until all places have been filled. Early applications are strongly encouraged.
