“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
