afa ad school graduation

December 11, 2008

Artisan would like to send their congratulations to all those who graduated last night from this year's AFA AD School.

Artisan were proud to be able to sponsor the event, recognising the contribution that AFA AD School plays in continuing to skill up those working in the Advertising Industry.

"It was important for us to be involved with AD School", says Diana Lagioia, General Manager of Artisan. "These people are the next generation of professionals coming through. In an industry sector that frequently suffers from skill shortage, we appreciate that there is a way for people to get skilled up and to have that cutting edge."

"The night was a great success", says Lawrence Akers, Artisan Business Managers. "Over the past year, we've been involved in sponsoring a few different events within our creative community and is an excellent way for us to keep our finger on the pulse."

The evening also saw the appearance of some well known industry figures, such as Jane Emery and McCann Erickson Managing Director, James Graham. "As the Vic Chair of the AFA I was thrilled to attend the graduation event – it was great to see our industry has so much talent", says James. "The generous support of Artisan made last night a sensational event and a special thanks should go to Diana & Michael. Managing talent in our industry is very important and knowing that Artisan is nurturing and encouraging talent whilst also supporting AFA AD School is brilliant and greatly appreciated."
