Creative Slam

As part of our ever-popular GreenJam programme, designed to develop junior to mid-level talent across our member agencies, Creative Slam is a high-energy, collaborative event that showcases the power of creativity under pressure.

Working in teams of around six, participants will tackle a live brief from The Royal Voluntary Service and have just 45 minutes to develop a creative response. They’ll need to understand the challenge, identify the target audience, shape their thinking and present a compelling idea back to the client and judging panel.

It’s fast-paced, practical and a brilliant opportunity to collaborate with peers from across the independent agency community, think differently and experience the pressures and excitement of pitching ideas in a live environment.
