Stephanie L
Copywriting Alumni
For those looking to hone their creative skills and pivot their career, I can't recommend Brainco enough. As one of the older students (early 30s) in the 40-week online class, my goal was to expand upon my copywriting skills and increase my career options.
I had 10 years of marketing and editing experience, and this course taught me new approaches to copywriting and connected me with writers and designers I still keep in touch with. Maybe most importantly, it helped me develop the portfolio I needed to apply for the jobs I wanted.
After I graduated, I had several interviews for copywriting positions with companies around the country and accepted a job as Senior Copywriter with a company I love. My world opened up. If you're serious about furthering your career and expanding your skills, I highly recommend this program.

Copywriting Alumni
Brainco’s online courses allowed me to be a student while working a full-time job in advertising. Not only that, but by applying what I learned to my day-job, I received a raise and promotion within a year of being enrolled in classes.
From craft to concepting, you have to be prepared to bring Big Ideas while still sweating the small-stuff in today’s advertising world. Brainco taught me what’s expected from a modern creative, and gave me the skills needed to not only survive, but thrive as a professional Copywriter.
The opportunity to learn from real-world Creative Directors is invaluable, and their teaching methods prepare you to concept, create, and pitch ideas at a real agency. Brainco’s process feels less like school, and more like being in a mini-advertising agency that has the best brands, the best briefs, and the most helpful Creative Directors you could hope for.

User Experience Alumni
Making the decision to take the User Experience Design class was a big deal. From the beginning, Ed and Lisa from Brainco guided me through the process to mae sure it was the right fit.
I had been a stay at home mom and was wanting to re-enter the workforce. Corey was my instructor and he was a great teacher, full of real world experience......in just 10 weeks I went from knowing nothing about UX design to a great overview of the field and 1 real life project for my UX portfolio. I was actually hired as a Graphic Designer/UX Designer at the company I did my project with one week before class ended.
It was a very informative class, Corey was patient and answered all my questions and he gave me so many resources to continue growing as a UX designer. Best money I've ever spent for education. Thank you Brainco! - Jennfer

CreAgeless Member
Shortly before I became unemployed I joined Creageless to exchange ideas and build my network. My needs quickly changed, and I used the group to revise and get feedback on my job search. We pushed each other into new and interesting areas as my group worked through tactics, mined for leads, made connections, and ultimately just supported each other the process.
Our discussions would produce leads, and followups. Those would be developed as frequently as we needed it to be, and ultimately helped providing the structure and encouragement to become a Partner of a small media agency in New York, NY.
Multiple people in my group found jobs, including myself. I remain active in my CreAgeless group to support my peers in their endeavors and how to refine my goals. Because, who knows what’s next.
