Creative Data Academy 2024

Across three action packed days, our free to attend Creative Data Academy will show you how data, insight and information are harnessed by marketers to craft inspiring and memorable campaigns.

You’ll delve into the world of data-driven marketing, working on a real life marketing brief from Costa Coffee, hearing from a range of data experts, networking with data and marketing professionals looking to recruit, and discovering the vast array of job roles available.

"The Creative Data Academy isn't just an educational opportunity; it's an experience that I highly recommend to anyone passionate about advancing their career in data and marketing. My favourite aspect was the extensive networking opportunities. The collaborative atmosphere really opened the doors to a broader professional network.” - Elliott Duggan-Edwards, 2023 Academy attendee, now Digital Marketing Executive at E3 Recruitment.

Anyone can attend, we just ask that you have a passion, enthusiasm and curiosity about a career in data and marketing, plan to work in the UK, and are 18 or over by 24 March 2024.

It doesn’t matter what you’re studying. Past academy delegates have studied a wide range of subjects from Marketing and Business to English, Psychology, Physics, Maths, Computer Science and Biochemistry.

It's also open to recent graduates and apprenticeship completers who are looking for their next step in their data and marketing careers.

The Academy will take place in London, 26 - 28 March 2024.

It's FREE to attend, lunch is provided on all three days, and we'll provide accommodation for you on the 26 and 27 March if you live outside a commutable distance to London.

At the Creative Data Academy you will:

• Work on a marketing brief for Costa Coffee using data and analytics. This will be presented to you on the first day and you'll build your response over the course of the academy, pitching it to the client on the last day.
• Get inside the real-world of creative data with talks, Q&As and workshops with established industry data and marketing practitioners.
• Visit RAPP, a leading advertising agency, to discover what agency life is like.
• Network with data and marketing professionals who are looking to recruit.

Many of our academy students have secured their first job or placement as a direct result of attending:
