Application Prompts

MY STORY SO FAR - PERSONAL STATEMENT PROMPTS

In an uploaded document, please address the following. Feel free to make the presentation as creative as you’d like:

• Tell us briefly what piqued your interest in doing creative work on behalf of brands? (300 words or less)
• Tell us briefly where you are from and when you knew you needed to come to the Brandcenter (200 words or less)
• What single attribute of yours will help you most at the Brandcenter? (100 words or less) 
• Brandcenter has 8 Guiding Principles (see below). Pick one attribute and explain how it applies to you. (300 words or less) 
  • NONCONFORMITY. The Brandcenter is filled with the spirit of innovators, pioneers, and benevolent rebels who innately do things in new, surprising, original, and unorthodox ways. We’ll always be “a little bit rogue.”
  • POSSIBILITY. We create it. We harness it. We believe a sense of possibility is a force multiplier.
  • CREATIVITY. We use creativity as our primary operating strategy. We look at each challenge as a chance to create something new.
  • GRIT. We work an extra hour, write another draft, consult another resource. We see preparation as an act of respect–to the work and to each other.
  • COURAGE. We know that the easy answer isn’t always the right answer; we make hard choices and consider difficult challenges, and we know sometimes we have to make courageous choices.
  • COLLABORATION. We know that one of us is never as good as more of us; we seek each other’s gifts, we contribute our own, and we’re open to true collaboration to create more powerful outcomes.
  • HUMILITY. No matter how much we believe in our ideas, no matter how prepared we are, no matter how proud we are of our work, we know that we can always do better. 
  • PURPOSE. We’re driven by purpose. We don’t just create ideas – we’re driven to understand the underlying challenges and find elegant solutions to complex problems.
