📝 Description

The creative industry is crowded. Talent alone won’t pay the bills. This masterclass focuses on the business side of creativity—the stuff they don’t teach you in art school. Gaku walks you through real client scenarios, from the first call to the final delivery, using his own “Brainwave Cap” campaign as a case study.
