Brilliant to see x ‘Content Creatives 2024’ graduate featured in the campaign about careers in the Creative Industries

Here’s what Daniel said…

“Feeling incredibly blessed to be part of such a powerful project ! 🙌🏾

Discover! A Career in the Creative Industries is a campaign aimed to inspire young people, especially those from under-represented backgrounds to see creative industries as exciting, accessible, and full of real career opportunities.

This one means a lot to me as I proved to my parents that the creative world was where I truly belong and moments like this remind me why I never gave up on that dream.

Anyone who is reading this, I hope you feel encouraged to chase what you believe in, no matter how far away it might seem right now.

A huge thank you to , , , , , …”
