Why both

The studio tells the classroom what the industry needs this year. The classroom trains the people the studio, and the industry, hire next. Industry professionals sit on both sides, as clients, teachers and jurors.

How the PGA Studio and Institute work together The studio feeds live industry work into the curriculum; the institute sends trained graduates to the studio and industry; industry sends briefs and jurors to the institute and projects to the studio.

You’ll probably enjoy working with us if…

Probably not a fit if you need it tomorrow and cheapest wins, want ten options to choose from, or the brief is “make it pop.”

Clients
  • You’d rather build a brand over years than chase a launch spike.
  • You want the idea argued with, not just executed.
  • You can say “we don’t know yet” in the first meeting.
  • You judge work by what it does, not how many rounds it took.
  • You’d rather have a small senior team than a big one you never meet.
  • You want to own what we make: the files, the system and the thinking.
University partners
  • You see a creative faculty as a long-term build, not a one-semester experiment.
  • You’re willing to let industry into the classroom as teachers, jurors and clients.
  • You care more about where graduates end up than how the brochure looks.
  • You’ll hold us to outcomes, and share the data to do it.
