We are VCCP.
The challenger network for challenger brands.
What do we mean by challenger, I hear you ask?
We are the underdogs.
Rocky versus Drago.
Or, in our case, a tiny human versus a great big grizzly bear.
This is what we do best – we pit ourselves against the biggest bears… And we take them down.
We like to challenge what’s expected….
It’s a massive part of VCCP culture. To ask questions…to challenge things. To create challenger work for ambitious challenger clients…
We are for brands who want to be bold and shake it up a little…however big or small. To do this we are on a mission to hire the most talented people from the four corners of the planet. People who won’t settle for nudging things forward an inch when things could move a mile.
People with ambition for themselves and their clients.
People who never get complacent, and always stay paranoid.
People who never think they know everything, and are always open to learning from others.
Oh yeah...and people not afraid of bears.
Up for the challenge?
WHAT IS AD SCHOOL?
We wanted to challenge the stereotype of the normal work experience – there’s no tea and coffee making during this week! Instead you get a jam-packed week giving you a genuine insight into life in an advertising agency.
You’ll have a timetable full of talks from industry leading specialists, armed with all the information required to pull together your very own campaign. The other part of your week is spent with the help of your mentors and fellow ad school team to deliver a pitch for a live brief in the agency.
