Welcome and hats off if you are one of those working in the creative industry who have contributed $111.7 billion to Australia’s economy1. More importantly, your work help shape the hearts and minds of Australians. To recognise this excellence, Western Digital who recently introduced their SanDisk Professional brand has launched this Academy, on online hub for Australia’s creative professional community.
“In support of the local creative industries, the SanDisk Professional Academy was established to provide a platform where members become part of a vibrant community that inspires each other and facilitate the exchange of knowledge across different fields and disciplines,” said Stefan Mandl, Vice President of Sales, Western Digital.
SanDisk Professional Academy offers wide opportunities to Australia’s creative and innovative individuals who show such artistic skills and utmost passion in their selected fields. Its members will soon have the opportunity to showcase their work and engage with their fellow professionals. Members access exclusive content for studio and on-location tips, join competitions, be invited on exclusive events, and a lot more.
“I’m thrilled to be sharing my experience with the community. It’s a great way for me to connect with other creative professionals both in my field and other industries, who may learn a thing or two from my experiences. As a professional pet and wildlife photographer, there is no time to waste when dealing with moving subjects. I rely on SanDisk Professional solutions so I can focus on capturing the moment without worry,” says Alex Cearns OAM, Director of Houndstooth Studios and SanDisk Professional Academy Mentor.
SanDisk Professional Academy also proudly presents outstanding and award-winning Mentors across the film, photography, music, and entertainment industry. They will be sharing their career experience and highlights through articles and video content. With these, aspiring content creators and professionals can widen their knowledge in their field and grow as creative.
“When you first start your career, your knowledge is based on theory. Over the past two decades, I’ve learnt what’s left out of the textbooks. Whether you are just starting out, or a veteran in the creative industry, SanDisk Professional Academy recognizes this journey, and I look forward to sharing my insights that will be useful no matter what stage you’re at,” says Simon Moro, Music Producer & Mixer and SanDisk Professional Academy Mentor.
This Academy will serve as a platform for creative professionals to grow, connect, and collaborate with each other for FREE.
