So you’re curious about the world of branding but don’t know where to start. From brand designers all the way to art directors, what kind of work do people in branding do? What roles are available for entry-level talent and what skills might you need to work in this area?

Find out on Thursday 18 July, as we seek answers from a stellar lineup of industry experts working in this field. So if you’re an emerging creative in the first year of your career and curious about working in branding, be sure to sign up!

The event will take place over Zoom on Thursday 18 July, from 17:00 to 20:00 GMT, and is split into two parts:

🎤 Part 1 – Panel discussion (17:00 to 18:00)
A panel discussion with a range of industry experts, covering questions on everything from the skills needed to work in branding, to their tips on breaking into the industry.

🤝 Part 2 – Breakout rooms between industry experts and select attendees (18:30 to 20:00)
Select attendees will be put into breakout rooms with our pros where they can interact and ask questions directly to them. You will also be grouped with other emerging creatives and have the chance to network.

Please note:

While all eligible applicants are welcome to attend the panel discussion, there are only a limited number of places available for the breakout sessions.
