THE COURSE YOU NEED TO
GET A JOB
IN CREATIVE ADVERTISING
MEET YOUR CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Hi, I’m Dave Fymbo.
A creative director with 19 years of experience, at four agencies from Chicago to Denver to Kansas City. My campaigns have won multiple Best In Show awards. I’ve helped many students get their first job. And recently I mentored someone, helping them go from Associate Copywriter to Senior Copywriter in two years.
I looked for an affordable Portfolio School to recommend and I couldn’t find one. So I made one myself.

PERSONAL FEEDBACK SESSIONS
The full Fathom Portfolio School package includes two 30-minute individual sessions over Zoom, where I’ll provide personalized feedback on your portfolio.
The intent is that I can provide initial feedback on your current portfolio and then a follow-up session once you’ve had a chance to make revisions, though the timing is up to you.
We can brainstorm together, polish your ideas, and get your portfolio interview-ready.
“Dave can do funny. Dave can do smart. Dave can do sincere, deftly walking the line between beautiful and hard-hitting.”
– MATT INGWALSON, EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR
