School of Thought's objective is to help to develop the North's creative agency sector. We do this through running our creative course and competition annually in Manchester and Leeds. School of Thought is an intensive 12 week training programme involving 12 creatives who want to flex their creative muscles by learning how to develop and pitch big ideas with the regions top agencies. It's also a competition, with the best 'thinker' over the 12 weeks winning a life changing trip to Cannes Lions. We're now in our 8th year and have run 14 programmes, helping 166 creatives to develop their skills and create a portfolio full of big ideas. You can also catch us on Insta: @schoolofthoughtig
