KEY TAKEAWAYS Are you a student looking to get into the creative industry? Hear about the skills you need to learn from being newly qualified to actually doing the job.  What about starting your own brand? You’ll hear how branding is a key part of a startup's birth and what you need to start building your brand. You’ll also learn from people who are currently building their brands. What has their journey been like so far? What impact are they having on their customers?    BEST MOMENTS Kingsley Peters: ‘One of the things I was kind of saying to them (students) is that when you come out of university you might have a craft, but actually you don't really know anything about the industry. As a creative director, I'm not looking for them to come into the business and know everything about everything. What I'm looking for them to come into the business with is passion and ideas’ Viktoria Jancurova: ‘I think of competitors as collaborators. They might have the same processes, they might have the same systems or similar, but they will never give branding the same personality as I do just because it's me. It's what makes me unique. My clients know exactly what they're going to get and that's a really important aspect to think about. Again, linking back to branding’ Sane Mafa on the importance of brand for Studio M: ‘I will literally have this conversation with the partners everyday - How are we sticking to who we say we are and can we practically say that's what we're doing as a brand. I think continuous reflection (is important) on what it is that your values are, your philosophy is, and how you are as a company and sticking with those things in a practical sense’ ABOUT THE HOST - DANIELLE CLARKE Danielle Clarke is a Brand Strategist and University Lecturer.
