It’s all about people. For our first masterclass of 2025 we’re teaming up with award-winning agencies Harvard and Teamspirit (who have worked on campaigns with Sennheiser, Vodafone and Big Zuu to name a few) to explore why diversity is at the heart of creative success in these industries – and how you can be part of it. We’ll kick things off with a quickfire creative showcase featuring innovative campaigns then dive into a panel discussion mixed with an interactive quiz, blending personal stories, industry expertise, and audience participation. Join us to get insight from a panel of PR and marketing experts on working effectively with clients and brands, the PR skills essential to any role, as well as their overall career tips and advice on how to navigate working in the creative economy. Plus, we’ll wrap up with an audience Q&A and the opportunity to build your network.
