It’s very difficult when you’re in school to have an accurate idea of what it’s like to actually have a job in the industry. I think having a lot of different people come in and share their experiences at HSA really helped me get a better grasp on that.
— Ruth Hirsch, Copywriter, Unleaded Communications

I learned more in this class just by being able to ask questions, than I did in any of the few advertising classes I took in college.
— Melissa Saylors, HSA102

To sum it up: If I never took HSA classes, I'd be screwed right now. HSA taught me everything I know about Creative Advertising and what to expect once you start working. And basically, if you know what to expect, you'll skip like one year of looking ridiculous when you make rookie mistakes. Thank God for HSA.

Without HSA, I would not have been able to impress my first employer right off the bat. I worked as a marketing assistant (junior graphic designer/marketing planner) at Weingarten Realty and I was able to plan creative events and advertisements for their commercial real estate locations. Because of HSA I was able to think critically about how to draw more patrons to real estate events, trade shows, and charity events.

Classes at HSA are inspiring. They reminded me that working in advertising is what I really want to do and if you're really passionate about something, people will see that.
— Abby Salgado, Account Executive, Lopez Negrete

Awesome class. Very informative. A must for anyone that thinks they want to enter the creative side of advertising.
— Greg Feeney, HSA101 & 102

I honestly use something that I learned in my HSA classes just about every day in my professional life. Whether it be working with the marketing department to come up with a new campaign for new students, or creating my own online outreach campaign for a volunteer group.
— Phil Butcher, Director of Veteran’s Affairs, University of St. Thomas

Honestly, (sadly) it helped more than my classes at the university. I was asked about my classes at HSA during interviews and it showed how passionate I was about learning and advertising.
— Karen Lopez, Account Executive, Euro RSCG 4D, New York

I’ve recommended HSA to my friends and would do it again.
— Nathan Hoang, HSA101

HSA gave me the courage to express my ideas, even the silly ones.
