Meet some Idea Rawkstarr graduates

Here are what some of our graduates have to say about Idea Rawkstarrs...

“The best thing I can say about the training is that all the classes, no matter what the subject was, focused on the core concept of personal improvement. Sure, they offered me skills. Sure, they offered me insights. Sure, they offered me criticism. But they didn't teach me any of that. They offered, and it was my own hand that took what they offered.

Rather, they helped define me. They defined my character, and my limits as I saw them. Then, they showed me alternatives, how to approach things differently, how to think differently, how to perceive things differently. And that's all they did, only show. Again, if I wanted the change, if I wanted the alternative, if I wanted to better myself again and again and again, I had to use my own hands to do it."
– Aiman Azri



"I'm actually applying what I've learnt in all modules in my work, and to be frank, everything seems clearer and more precise. I just got compliment from my boss about the strategy i did few weeks ago."
- Angela Lew, an Account Executive at PWR Design who already had two years of working experience before joining the Idea Rawkstarrs classes in the evening last February.



“95% is the place where you can get the best out of yourself. Here, I've witnessed how powerful I am and how impossible is actually nothing. Impossibility had actually just been inside of me. But at 95%, I gained more understanding about myself that made me realise that there was nothing in this world that could get in my way of what I wanted to be. This is not just about advertising, this is about myself. 95% helped me gain my confidence and belief, a belief that says "I can be successful". One thing that I got from personal growth was about making peace with myself. The result? It was the best Saturday I have ever spent without having a girlfriend :)”
– Randy Raharja, student, Limkokwing University College


"I took a diploma and a degree in Graphic Design and felt that I wasn't getting enough knowledge to join the industry. It was a major scary feeling because I knew I wasn't equipped with the skills. And then came 95%. Their training courses were specific, thorough and experiential, unlike those pricey college modules which were too academic."
- Ong Sue Yin, Copywriter at IF Isobar

The training at 95% made me realise that I had been guarding way too many issues in my life, whether or not it had to do with disappointment, regret or shame with mental padlocks that prevented me from being truthful and happy. Personal growth was a platform for me to find the keys to undo those locks so that I may accept and reconcile with the past. The experience was mind blowing, tear jerking and nerve wrecking but at the end of day, the lesson learnt was so great that I'm sure it was worth every time and effort.
- Jia Ming, Copywriter, 95% The Advertising Academy


"Idea Rawkstarrs was tough! I had many moments during the three months where I was thinking "what did I get myself into? At the end though, by pushing through the challenges and putting everything on the line (I quit my day job in the middle of the training!), I understood the mindset and gained the drive needed to be in advertising. Armed with what I learned through Idea Rawkstarr, I was able to make an impact in my interviews with BBDO/Proximity. Working at Proximity is fun, but the work hours can be murder! Being passionate about creativity really helps get me through. Plus, I'm loving that I'm being paid to daydream and have silly conversations with my colleagues."
- Adlin Rosli, from writer at KLUE to copywriter at BBDO / Proximity

"I found out about 95% The Advertising Academy by a coincidence meeting Janet during an advertising conference where she briefly but passionately was talking about the training. Already working in the media industry and with advertising agencies, I wanted to learn more about the actual work and thought process behind ads. The training provided me with some real insights about creativity and it was a thrilling rollercoaster ride for three months. Creativity and idea generation is all within us and Janet and her team really helped me to unlock my potential. The training also helped me with my current work as a Digital Sales Manager where I have to consult clients on ideas and campaigns on a daily basis. Needless to say that I wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone who is wants to unlock their creative mind and excel in the world of advertising."
-Andreas Olsson, Digital Sales Manager, ASTRO
