Our partnerships are invaluable for brands and agencies
And they’re life-changing for students
That’s why we’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to…
Brand partners
Brands always tell us they get a lot from our programmes, but they also give so much back. The students they meet don’t often have a career plan. They can’t see how to turn their creativity into a living. It’s the brand teams who set and sponsor tough briefs and mentor students during the process who help change that. Thanks to all the brands who work with us and fund us. You’re an inspiration.
Agency and Creative partners
We can only give our students a glimpse of creative industry life with the help of our many partners who give their time, money, offices and minds to help us. Many are mentors throughout our creative camps, and helpful contacts long after our programmes end. Thanks to all the agencies who work with us. You’re amazing.
