Built by Augustus Media to give the region’s next storytellers a real way in real briefs, real studios, real work behind the stories reaching millions across the MENA region. Studio visits and internship weeks for schools and universities today. Workshops, group sessions, and online programming for every kind of learner, coming next.
Augustus Media has been building the region’s stories since 2015; the network behind Lovin, Smashi, and Odeum, reaching 30+ cities across the GCC, Levant, and North Africa. Academy isn’t a side project: it’s the same teams, briefs, and studios running live for our brands today, opened up to the next generation. The region’s creative economy is one of the fastest-growing employers, yet most students graduate having never sat in a brief, watched a campaign close, or seen a reel go from idea to publish. Academy closes that gap: pitching, taking feedback, and working to a deadline are learned in rooms like ours, not lecture halls.
Three formats: a one-day studio visit, a three to five-day internship week, or a weekend Professional Media Bootcamp inside a live, working media network across the UAE, KSA and Egypt.
A focused day inside a working media network: a studio tour, a live brief walkthrough, a creator Q&A, and a hands-on activity students leave having actually made.
Best for career days and field trips.
A full immersion modelled on how agencies onboard new hires: mentored teams, a real client brief, and a final pitch to the Augustus team feeding directly into paid internship rotations.
Best for internship pipelines and degree programmes.
An intensive bootcamp for working professionals and career-switchers: live sessions, real briefs, and direct access to the same teams behind Lovin, Smashi, and Odeum.
Best for professionals, marketers, and anyone looking to break into media.
