Since we announced our partnership with Brixton Finishing School, we’ve taken part in exciting initiatives to help nurture the talents of young people.
ADcademy
Designed to help 18–30-year-olds break into design, advertising, and media, the ADcademy gets passionate budding creatives closer to the agencies that make it happen.
Our Senior Strategist Alixanne Hucker delivered our Elements of a Brand Identity workshop, giving students a mini masterclass on all things brand, and the building blocks for a successful identity, from strategy to design.
The students then gave it a go themselves, building an identity for value champagne, guided by co-facilitators Becks, Casey, and Lauren. The students showed real promise with great thinking and inspired ideas…the creators of Maison Mundane take a bow!
Inspiring minds
As part of Brixton Finishing Schools ADventure outreach programme catered for 14-18-year-olds designer Sam Turton-Fox paid a visit to Platanos College in Clapham. He spoke to over 200 Year 9 students through his journey to becoming a Graphic Designer. Experiences like these play a crucial role in exposing students to potential career paths and broadening their understanding of the opportunities out there.
Sam aimed to provide valuable insights, foster curiosity, and inspire students to consider design as a possible future career (and get some laughs). He succeeded on all fronts!
Powering up portfolios
After reviewing hundreds of portfolios in the years we’ve been in business we believe creating a visually engaging portfolio is the key to securing a role in the industry. With our expertise, we provided constructive feedback and encouragement to help develop BFS talent portfolios, improving their chances of securing their dream job.
Thank you to Brixton Finishing School for giving us the platform to support upcoming talent.
