We are a nonprofit creative agency providing real-world job experience and education in marketing and advertising. 

Whether fresh out of school or changing careers, new creatives in the marketing and advertising field face a catch-22. Most living-wage jobs need previous professional experience. So you need a job to get the experience...and the experience to get the job. 

This used to mean either taking an internship at low or no pay or scrounging up enough freelance work to pay the bills. Our Bootcamp and Apprenticeship program fills these gaps. Candidates and participants are not required to have formal education or previous professional work experience. They are only required to prove their skills through our selection process which includes interviews, auditions, and other innovative means. Our selection process eliminates discrimination, helping us increase diversity and inclusion within the field. And at the end of the program, we hold a showcase to connect Apprentices with our network and send them off with certifications through the Department of Labor. 

By 2030, 60% of all new jobs will require postsecondary credentials, and Dallas is #3 in the nation for job creation in the tech sector. 

With this in mind, we prioritize hiring from marginalized communities to enhance diversity and inclusion in our field. Our clients are cause-driven organizations that receive inclusive and representative creative work. This allows us to impact local communities by ensuring community members are educated and trained to obtain jobs. This creates self-sustainability in low-income neighborhoods because we empower them to take their careers into their own hands.

Job seekers and career changers aren't the only people who benefit.

Low-budget/high-need clients such as nonprofits, startups, community organizations, and local businesses are able to receive quality work at an affordable rate. By matching client needs and budgets with appropriate junior-level talent billable rates, both sides benefit, and a modest profit can be made. Our business model helps increase the awareness and revenue of nonprofits and small businesses in local communities, creating a domino effect within the economic ecosystem. The better small business and nonprofits perform, the more opportunities and resources they are able to give to the communities they serve. The greater the awareness they receive, the more people, populations in need, and potential partners they are able to reach.

With your help, we could hire 12-18 Apprentices, bring on additional support staff, and more than double the amount of economic impact we have in our communities. 

We currently are able to serve 7-10 Apprentices per year and 35-50 nonprofits and small businesses. 96% of our Apprentices find employment in the advertising and marketing field, with an average starting salary of $50,000. That's living-wage employment, plus the skills and experience to continue growing and excelling in their careers.
