Academy of Advertising review

Academy of Advertising has grown 15% between 4 Sept 2026 and 1 Nov 2026, by its published member count. It is free to join.

A review on the numbers, not an opinion: nobody here has joined Academy of Advertising, and nothing below is a verdict.

Academy of Advertising is a free Skool group for media buyers and agency owners, built around a training method called The AOA Way.[1][2] The group was created in November 2022.[1] The about text says the training was first sold as a $2,000 course and later as a membership costing $1,000 to $1,800 a year, and it became free as AOA shifted from an education company to a technology company that builds tools for running its systems.[1]

About Academy of Advertising

Members get training, SOPs, templates and frameworks on media buying and account optimization, copywriting and creative, offers and funnels, email marketing and follow-up, and testing and analysis.[1] The AOA Way also covers sales presentations, measurement and multichannel advertising, and lessons include diagnosing an advertising account before changing it and writing direct-response copy.[2] The operator says the method has been developed since 2003 across Facebook, Google, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn and other channels.[2]

Joining requires no credit card and involves no trial.[1] The Academy of Advertising site states that results are individual and not typical.[2]
