ICAD Upstarts 2022

The ICAD Upstarts Programme helps to prepare emerging creative talent for the industry, introduces the industry to their work, and develops their skills and thinking along the way.  only is the ICAD Upstarts programme an unparalleled training opportunity for emerging creatives but it is also a proven route to attracting, accessing and often hiring emerging talent. Places on the programme are won by completing a challenging brief issued by ICAD each year, over the course of the programme, the Upstarts work on a series of consecutive briefs, given out weekly - each week receiving a brief from a new agency. They work on this brief for a week and present it back on the following to the briefing agency.
