    No experience? No problem. Creative marketer Phoebe Christoforou explains how to navigate your first years in industry... and how to turn gig-going into a job.

    This Wednesday we're joined by creative marketer Phoebe Christoforou, currently working at a record label in London! Starting from one of the most niche degrees we've ever heard of and then leaving in her first year, Phoebe began her marketing career in 2017 by writing a music blog and then landing an apprenticeship at a record label. If you're worried about starting your career without experience, this is one for you. Phoebe shares what to expect in your first years in industry and why you shouldn't be afraid of jumping in at the deep end (say yes to joining client presentations! Say yes to networking events! Say absolutely yes to sending a follow up email to that agency you want to work for!). Join the conversation on Instagram and Reddit!

    Rebranding a building that William the Conqueror built... a thousand years ago?! Join us for a chat about 4 big rebrands from 2023!

    Two designers, a marketer, and a web developer sit in a room and they talk about... rebrands. Niche! There's been some huge brands jazzing up their visual identities recently, or just completely overhauling their style and direction (looking at you, Dolmio), so get your wellies on as we're deep diving into the sea of rebranding. We're chatting about Dolmio's decision to get rid of their Italian puppets, Pets at Home's wonderful wordplay, Norwich Castle's unique challenge of capturing a new audience while holding onto their thousand-year heritage, and Stella's decision to align themselves with streetwear. It's also Archie's last episode! He's going back to uni to complete his final year and leaves some big Yoots! shoes to fill on the pod. Bye Rory!

    Why degrees aren't the only route to creative success: freelance 2D motion designer Esteban González shares how to network and thrive as a self-taught professional

    Esteban Gonzáles is a remarkable freelance 2D and motion designer—and he’s here to tell you why beating down the door for opportunities is everything (send that email you’ve been putting off. DO IT NOW!).  8 years ago, Esteban found himself with a unique challenge: his home country, Uruguay, only has one university graphic design course. Esteban skipped this expensive and competitive step to instead self-teach and focus on building valuable networks. Now a sought-after freelancer with extensive experience as a senior motion designer, Esteban shares his tips on how to build a successful career without a university background.  Packed full of golden nuggets (including why 5 minute phone calls are the flare you need for an agency to spot you in the dark sea that is creative job applications), this episode is your cheat sheet to a commercial mindset that agencies and clients love.   There's also a bit in here for all you NFT-lovers as Esteban shares his knowledge designing for the blockchain.
