Increasing the diversity of talent for
the creative marketing community
by providing inspiration, knowledge and access
We are the Netherland’s first free industry-wide program that aims to create a Diversity & Inclusion critical mass by increasing the pool of under-represented talent.
Currently in our second year, our vision is to build a creative marketing community that is as representative as the people who shape all of our cultures.
Together with our partner Prospect Eleven, we provide inspiration, education and career access to passionate 16-28 year olds so they can be part of the next generation of leaders in the world of marketing and communications.
On the 26th of June 2021 our first class graduated, please find their story and reactions here. Change is not self-evident, dedicating 5 months, over 50 sessions and many more hours of understanding to get inspired to take a jump.
How can you be excited by an industry you don’t know anything about?
The free programme introduces candidates to career opportunities within the creative marketing industry by providing knowledge and hands-on learning experiences.
Through weekly workshops, briefs and strategic insights are generated before creative ideas are developed and executed.
Candidates are taught and guided by mentors and award-winning creative marketing professionals.
The evening program is spread across 20 weeks and built up around three modules.
Who is it for?
