Brandcenter Recruiter Session

Each spring, we invite recruiters to participate—in person or virtually—in our Recruiter Session as we debut our graduating class and kick off the job placement process.

In-Person Recruiting

  • Join us for two full days of a reverse career fair, where each of our graduating students has their own table for you to meet with them and review their work, plus a happy hour for all participants to mingle with our graduating class and fellow recruiters.
  • Event sponsors and Brandcenter alumni are invited to a preview night the evening before the event officially begins.

Virtual Recruiting

  • We’ll send you a link to our soon-to-be-graduates’ portfolios, where you can browse their profiles, view their work, search by skills, and even schedule meetings with them.

“Recruiter Session is always the highlight of my year, as getting to watch the next generation of creative minds emerge into our industry is invigorating and inspiring. The care and craft that the Brandcenter pours into their curriculum radiates off their students, and has an undeniable impact on the advertising landscape.”

David Perez, Founder of The Perezidency
