SINGAPORE, Sept 10, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Spikes Asia and Cheil Worldwide are once again teaming up to form the Spikes Asia Creative Academy, offering a unique learning opportunity for a select group of students from across Asia Pacific.
Aimed at inspiring young creative talent, the Academy's three-day programme is tailored to the needs of its students and includes tutorials and master-classes from top industry figures as well as participation in the Spikes Asia seminar and forum programme, giving them exceptional first-hand insight into the creative advertising and communications industry of which they will be a part of in the future. The Academy's activities will culminate in a graduation ceremony.
The students, currently in tertiary education studying advertising, marketing and communications, will be tutored by Noor Azhar, Senior Lecturer at the Singapore Polytechnic Design School. Noor practiced advertising as an art director at CreAds Advertising and Batey Ads and then went on to set up integrated brand communications agency Just Media (now JM Asia). Noor has tutored the Academy since 2009.

We are delighted to continue working with Cheil Worldwide to deliver this exceptional learning platform and we look forward to welcoming this year's group of students," says Steve Latham, Director of Talent and Training for Spikes Asia.
