David Bell, AXIS Adschool Course Leader, wrote “It’s always gratifying to be part of anything that contributes to NZ’s international creative status. Knowing that we can mix it with the best in the world means the hard work our students are putting in during the course is helping to build a solid home-grown foundation for the future of the business. But a lot of the students’ success is also due to the ongoing contribution of the very many industry people back here.
