We are beyond lucky to have 2 amazing scholarship recipients join book180 this Fall 2024! Nicholas Slade (Art Director) is the recipient of the book180 + BLAC Scholarship—a full scholarship for an alum of the BLAC Internship Program. We were blown away by Nick's video submission and raw talent for drawing and illustration. We literally can't wait to see his portfolio in 6 months. And Ben G. (Copywriter) is the recipient of The Parent Pivot Scholarship— a full book180 scholarship for a parent looking to break into creative advertising. Ben's submission video screamed creativity, and had us smiling ear to ear. We're so impressed by his agency finance background and his passion for pivoting his career to continue being the best dad he can. The competition for both scholarships was so fierce. We want to thank and commend all of the talented creatives who applied for Fall 2024. And a huge thanks to the BLAC Internship Program for our continued partnership. Cheers to helping more people break into the creative industry! #portfolioschool #scholarships #artdirection #advertising #copywriting #careerpivot #creativeadvertising

Somehow, I fit four minutes into two minutes: https://lnkd.in/enWXCJ-b I love that this "2 Minutes With Patrick Bennett of Jack Morton" article is a 4-minute read. There's something so perfect in that paradox that gets at the heart of how we try to make the impossible possible every single day. Big shoutouts to Cassandra, Bruce, BLAC Internship Program, Kes (https://lnkd.in/essjkSqC), and, of course, Jack Morton Worldwide. Let's make the world a more inclusive, fun, and just better place! 💥
