Designed for the times we are living in, the M.

Free will can be guided.

If you’re working in research, marketing, sales or account management and dream of distinguis­hing yourself from the pack.

If you’re heading an NGO or working with policy change, and want to create a widespread change in behaviour.

If you’re interested in creating consumer experience­s that engage with people ethically.

If you’re fascinated by human behaviour & emerging technology and want to leverage the two in ways that drive meaningful conversati­on.

If you’re a CMO, CSO, Senior Marketer or Entreprene­ur -

then this programme will transform you!

4 modules. 4 weeks. 3 hours each. Fully online.

In 12 hours, you will understand how to best design for desired outcomes, to use heuristics to influence and impact the choices people make, and to build brand loyalty.

Behaviours are not made in a vacuum - they are both rational and irrational, and are deeply impacted not just by motivation­s but sometimes more importantl­y by the context in which people find themselves.

The triggers in their physical, social and digital environmen­ts, and the manner in which options are presented to them.

Miami Ad School has built its reputation worldwide for almost 3 decades as home to outstandin­g creative graduates who are ready to apply their newfound knowledge and skills from day one.

The four pillars that guide our programmes - learning, developing, expanding and performing together with unique educationa­l concepts, realistic training by profession­als and hands- on internship­s - provide students with experience­s that create exponentia­l impacts over their lifetimes, supported by an internatio­nal network in 16 countries, including hotspots like New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Madrid and Mumbai.

Kandeban Balendran, Founder and CEO of Miami Ad School SL & Maldives is passionate about curating an ecosystem of credibilit­y for creative thinking and discipline­s.

‘ We are building a school, a guiding presence and source of confidence in unconventi­onal abilities and careers.

A place that not only educates you but also celebrates you.

We teach students that creativity is their superpower.

They can use it to build brands, start new ventures, and champion beliefs. Miami Ad School is a partnershi­p between education and industry.

We are very excited to invite creative thinkers from Sri Lanka and around the region to come join a global community that is working tirelessly to take the power of our island’s creativity to the world.’

Pippa Seichrist, Co- Founder and CEO of Miami Ad School Worldwide is focused on bridging the gaps between theory and practical approaches to education.

‘ Our approach is not a cookecutte­r programme that limits you to learning passively, but it is a chance for students to co- create and inform their own education so that it serves their talents and ambitions uniquely, in real- time. It’s a great joy to be a part of Sri Lanka’s creative future.’
