Brandcenter is incredibly proud to have a number of alumni on Ad Age’s recent list of “62 Creatives to watch in 2025.” The group includes creative directors, art directors, and copywriters at varying levels of seniority in their careers, with graduation years ranging from 2003 to 2023. With 11 of our alums included in the 62, almost 20% of the list has Brandcenter roots, and we are the single most represented academic program.
We cannot wait to see what these folks make in 2025.
