About the Dentsu School Of Influence

Applications Now Open

In partnership with CSA, dentsu South Africa invites emerging creators to apply for the Dentsu School of Influence programme designed to help young talent turn creativity into sustainable careers.

At the heart of the programme is One Big Week, an immersive accelerator taking place in Cape Town. Selected creators will step into a real creative environment, working on live briefs, receiving mentorship, and gaining practical commercial skills to help build long-term creative businesses.

This is not about chasing short-term visibility. It’s about developing the thinking, structure and confidence needed to grow influence into opportunity.
