Join us on Tuesday 15th October in Central London as we break down barriers to the creative industry and give traditional ‘mentoring’ a fun twist with Landor.
Landor are world-leading brand specialists, driven by the purpose of making a positive difference.
Their wonderful team have volunteered their evening to speak with emerging creatives to answer your burning questions, provide some snappy portfolio feedback or just have a general chit-chat.

So what’s the twist?
Ever been speed dating? No? Neither have we…but the format still works! All mentees at this event will get the chance to speak to three different members of the wonderful Landor team, rotating every 10 minutes, with small breaks in between to regroup.
You can be emerging at any age, so there’s no age limit on this event. If you have less than two years of industry experience, you can get involved!
Spaces are limited, so don’t hang about. Applications will close on Thursday 26th September 2024.
