Professional Development
Acquire the skills needed for a successful futureIntroduction
The professional development programme has made for the freelancers building their own practice, agencies developing unique teams and in-house departments trying to stay sharp inside organisations that weren't built for creativity. Our packages are made to help people move forward with the energy and excitement needed for a positive future.
Who we work with
-
Freelance Designers
The freelance community is large, fragmented and chronically underdeveloped when it comes to commercial business. Most enter because of their ability but very few were taught how to position themselves, price work, find clients or build a practice that doesn't depend on themselves. If this sounds familiar contact us to see how we can help.
-
Creative Agencies
Agencies face a development challenge that neither individua or large-scale training adequately serves. Their designers need commercial awareness, account managers need to understand the creative process and leaders are needed to know a lot but usually have little time. If this sounds familiar contact us to see how we can help.
-
In–House Teams
In-house designers sit inside businesses that aren’t built with their development in mind. Training budgets usual focus on generic skills, in-house CDs often lack an external perspective and the specific pressures of in-house teams are rarely addressed by any form of creativity. If this sounds familiar contact us to see how we can help.
Evolving to fit the ever changing needs of industry, clients and business
Freelance designers, creative agencies and the in-house teams that surround them are operating in a market that has shifted significantly in recent years.
AI has disrupted workflows, remote work has changed how agencies structure their teams and procurement cycles have tightened whilst traditional CPD routes have failed to keep pace with what practitioners actually need to know.
Our video library, global network and in–person events have been built by designers that understand the challenges working creatives experience and our professional development programme has been made to provide authentic and agile support for those we work with.
