What our participants say

Discover what our former participants say about their experience.

Matilde Gomes _ BSS alumna

"The Brand Strategy and Storytelling Course helped me think differently and more imaginatively about what I do on a daily basis as an agency strategist. I still haven’t figured out 100% how to incorporate everything I’ve learnt into work, or even digested all of it, but I can say it was worth it. Iñaki and Jamie are amazing, and I really felt they were present during the whole experience, even with only one online session per week. The organisation of the online course in itself was excellent as well - very easy to work through and follow. I only have positive feedback to give and would say that I finished the course off feeling truly inspired."

Liam James - Course participant

"Each chapter of the course was crafted in a very purposeful way. Going into this with a growth mindset was key because it allowed me to be totally open to new ideas and approaches. Regardless of how much experience another course member had, there seemed to always be something to learn from each other."
