Code Worldwide and REaD Group confirmed as sponsors for London's Creative Data Academy

2019’s Creative Data Academy programme begins on Monday in London, running from the 1-3 April, giving 30 aspiring data-driven marketers the opportunity to connect with employers and discover the wide variety of roles available in the industry.

We’re delighted to announce Code Worldwide and REaD Group as the sponsors of London’s 2019 Academy, who have both supported the programme for a number of years.

Across the 3 days, students will listen to talks from industry experts and data specialists, and put their skills to the test by working on a brief set by one of Code Worldwide’s clients, Ralph Lauren. Members of the Code team will set the brief on the first day and the students will work on it over the academy, with the support from the speakers they hear from. They’ll then pitch their responses to member of the Code team at their London offices.

Carolyn E Stebbings, SVP & Managing Director of Code said,

‘Over the last few years the RAPP & Code partnership with the Creative Data Academy has enabled our own talent to showcase what they have been doing and help inspire a future generation. We have seen a distinct increase in the number of young women attending these sessions, highlighting the growing focus and creative nature of this discipline. I would wholeheartedly recommend this programme for any aspiring data scientist to understand how we can help brands leverage their data to drive customer first strategies.‘

Scott Logie, Managing Director of REaD group said,

‘REaD Group have been proud to sponsor the Creative Data Academy for the last few years. The programme provides a great route for those looking to get into the data industry by showing them what a fun and enjoyable career it can be. From our perspective, we have been very lucky to recruit for a number of different roles knowing that the candidates we meet have already been pre-selected and know what kind of career they are interested in.’
