CO-DEAN LEAN. Paul Fix and Tom Christmann are taking Adhouse into the next decade.

In December of 2019, I joined Adhouse advertising school as Co-Dean with Paul Fix. I also teach a class there.

The school was founded by advertising recruiter Lauren Slaff way back in 1997 on the firm belief that an ad class was only as good as the professional who teaches it. Every Adhouse class is taught at night by a working pro, usually in the agency where he or she works. This gives students who want to break into the business valuable access and real world experience while they learn.

Adhouse students have secured coveted positions at creative hot-shops, including Wieden+Kennedy, McCann, David & Goliath, 72 & Sunny, Baldwin&, RGA, Havas, Goodby Silverstein, Mother, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Taxi , Venables Bell & Partners, TBWA Chiat/Day and more.
