The accelerator materials are available online, so you can access them anytime, anywhere, on your mobile. The experience is designed to come to you and fit around your professional career.
But this is more than just an online course. You will also be invited to local meetups and to Mastered Live, a weekend of learning and creativity, hosted at a stunning global location, such as Iceland, Croatia or Canada.
Throughout the 10 months, you'll get high-quality video content featuring insights and advice from established experts, creative directors and art directors who are succeeding in the industry today, and the people you need to impress.
The experts' knowledge and insight will help you complete practical projects that you need in order to work towards your professional development.
The backbone of the accelerator is regular feedback from industry insiders, to give you the direction you need to achieve your personal goals, develop your portfolio and attract the right kind of work.
In addition, you will get access to a personal development coach who will help you act on this feedback, and hone the winning mentality you need to unlock your potential.
No one succeeds alone. Which is why you will join a global pool of brands, photographers, stylists, and beauty professionals to network and collaborate with. Creative briefs set by industry legends will give you the stimulus to discover and work with local and international peers.
Then it's time to put it all into action. We leverage our industry connections to provide opportunities for work and recognition from creative directors, agents, commercial brands and more.
You’ll get tailored program materials and feedback from industry experts who understand your challenges as an art director. Here’s a selection of lead experts from our previous accelerators.
We’ve developed this accelerator to help you become this new breed of creative and claim your place in the industry of the future. Take a look at what the next 10 months could hold.

“I believe the program gave me the confidence to have my own voice and not try to fit in with everyone else. I also think it gave me the ability to explore image making as an artist and not just a photographer.”
