Out of Home Creative Training
12 Months to Bigger, Beefier Contracts.
Better creative brings attention to your media. Attention on your media brings your clients more business and your business more clients.
They don’t teach billboards in school.
We had to learn through our 25 years of experience creating unexpected and compelling out of home. We’ve consolidated all this knowledge into our Out of Home Creative Training Classes. After 12 months, students will know everything we know about out of home.
Meet the teachers.
Todd Turner started his ad career at Adams Outdoor where he moved up the ranks from designer to national creative director and collected multiple OBIE and ADDY Awards. He spent more years at Outfront, Blip, and full-service agencies before co-founding Up To Something.
Richard Molinaro has had a varied career with award-winning runs in advertising agencies and media companies including Outfront, Durden, and Adams. As Up To Something co-founder and a swiss army creative, Richard can spin words as well as he can conjure imagery.

STUDENT WORK
What others are saying.
I believe our investment in Todd and Richard has paid off many times over by helping us think differently about how the creative process should go. They help us to work differently with our clients and push them to do something that is bold and stands out rather than the bland creative we all see too much of. Todd and Richard are not just Up to Something; they are on to something.

Beyond the creative insights, these classes have also provided a platform to exchange best practices and tools for educating clients—particularly those new to outdoor advertising—on the critical role that effective creative plays in successful campaigns.
Ashley Amoroso
Director, Strategic Planning at Coastal Outdoor
Their classes go beyond the simple best practices of how to create better billboard ads. At their core, they serve to solidify the relationships between media companies and their clients. Because when designers are allowed to dedicate more time and thought into your clients, your clients stick around, and word spreads to your prospects.
Becky Smith
Enterprise Manager at Independent Billboard Operators
This class is amazing. And fun! It's so nice to be able to talk to other people about billboard design. It also stoked a lot of creative embers in me.
