Info

I'm a globally acclaimed, multi-awarded & multidisciplinary hybrid Creative Director and international advertising judge with over 15 years of experience in communications for the biggest brands around the world with main focus on new technologies in advertising and impactful executions.

I had a privilege to learn and master the creative craft under the best and most awarded Executive Creative Directors and CCO's coming from prestigious agencies such as 72andsunny, AKQA, Leo Burnett, TBWA, Saatchi & Saatchi, FCB, Razorfish, and Publicis and put this knowledge to life extensively while living in Dubai, London and Zurich and working with Middle East, Europe, Asia and all the way from New York to California.

My work has been featured in many professional magazines, such as Adweek, Adage, Campaign Magazine, DesignTAXI, Adobe Magazine and many more. I also had an honor of being ranked as one of the top 5 Creative Directors worldwide in the prestigious Creativepool rankings.

Currently pursuing PhD in the area of digital creativity.

    The school’s priority in every field of activity is the students’ thorough development, a special care for the expanding of abilities and interests, as well as helping in honing individual talents and passions. For this reason our teachers organize many different initiatives designed to help achieve specific goals (education camps, charity work, international student exchange, science projects and lectures, theatre activities, PIWO, the school choir, The Ryszard Zapała Education Week, and many more). Every year the school organizes a series of lectures named after the school patron, Wszechnica Witkowskiego (series of popular science lectures), during which outstanding figures of Kraków’s academic circles are invited to the school to share their knowledge with the students.
