The Glue Society launches 4 creative fellowships; applications will close at 5pm, Friday, June 30th
The Glue Society today unveils its fellowship programme for 2016/17 giving four young creative people the chance to work at the collective for 12 months. Applications close at 5pm on Friday June 30.
As well as receiving a salary, the successful candidates will receive training across every discipline of creativity from the Glue Society team – covering everything from communication art to project direction.
The fellowships cover the following creative categories:
– Digital Creativity & Design
– Copywriting & Art Direction
– Film & Editorial Craft
Applicants, who must have less than 2 years working experience, should apply by sending a short CV, attaching 3 creative projects (whether personal or commercial) and write an email of no more than 100 words outlining what they hope to achieve in the 12 month programme – to fellowship@gluesociety.com.
Says Jonathan Kneebone, co-founder of The Glue Society: ‘We have always sought to encourage creative talent – whether through our support of AWARD or D&AD education programmes.
“Establishing these fellowships is our way of giving four young people the chance to develop their own creative voice, helping them to establish the communication skills for what we hope will be very successful careers.”

“As well as receiving a salary” You’re too kind
What a great initiative. I wish I was starting out again, I’d jump at the chance.
No-one trains staff any more. There once was a de-facto apprenticeship served as you worked your way up through an ad agency. Nowadays, it’s more Like “Wow, a degree, we’d batter make you a GAD…”.
Glue’s initiative will do two things…attract some great, driven young minds, and contribute to the broader talent pool within the industry.
All good in my book…and anyone who snipes about them ‘using’ young people, or ‘taking advantage’ whinge whinge etc etc…you’re a knob.
