Summer School has got to be our favourite week of the year.

Getting the next generation into the agency and giving them a taste of the industry just feels right. 

They had a diary packed week of workshops and talks covering everything: strategy, finance, creative, design, account management, AI and social. 

And they got hands on with a brief they were pretty passionate about: "Getting Financial Education into Schools". 

A huge thanks to everyone involved this year – our fifteenth summer school and they just keep getting better and better.

Our judges: 

 for opening their doors again this year.

Is Consumer Research still relevant

There'll be wise words from our very own James Appleby and our [ yellow tail ] Casella Family Brands client Kevin Chinn, plus ROAST's Lynsey Rollinson , AllSaints' Jay Safdar, System1 Beth Marchant & Sun Life's Vicky Brunwin.
