Young Creative Council
People who do, change the world. Everyone else is just living here.
Young Creative Council aims to bridge the gap between graduates and the industry, helping young creatives by motivating, educating and supporting those wishing to make a go of it in AdLand. We run workshops, talks, portfolio nights, classes, socials and our own projects.
As a member from 2012 to 2016, my proudest moment was leading a partnership with Creative Equals on a survey to help get more young women into the industry, which you can read about in more detail on The Huffington Post or The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/women-in-leadership/2016/feb/03/how-advertising-industry-fails-women). We are currently working on data driven solutions to the problem and have already gained sponsorship for the education of a young female creative.
