Assessing the Brief Mastery Program
The ANA Marketing Training & Development Center’s Mastery Programs advance your marketing team’s capabilities in key disciplines by addressing strategic talent needs, sharpening skills, and putting new ideas to work immediately.
Our Mastery Programs are designed to be flexible and fit your team’s needs and budget. These programs can be delivered over multiple days or as a series of independent half- and full-day workshops.
In this program, participants have the opportunity to assess and score their briefs using a proprietary assessment tool and learn the critical elements needed for giving effective feedback on the resulting creative.
Note: Only one 201-level workshop is required for Mastery Program completion. You can choose the format that best fits your team’s schedule and learning style. Options include a full-day or a half-day workshop.
