The Alternative School launches TalentBet 2021
The Alternative School launches TalentBet 2021, a platform for professional and personal evolution addressed to creative young people who want to boost their presence in the industry. They will work on their personal brand, but also on briefs offered by local and international clients who, in turn, will benefit from the fresh perspective of a digital-born generation.
TalentBet2021 offers a mix of trainings, personal branding, mentoring and internship services, which will help creatives find and perfect their special skills and professional assets.
TalentBet was launched last year, in the context of the pandemic, encouraging local creatives and brands to outdo themselves, finding business solutions to crisis communication.
After exceptional feedback, the new edition of TalentBet will focus on young creatives, passionate about design, visual languages in social media and effective branding, interested in shaping a memorable professional identity and honing their skills in a competitive context. They will learn to seamlessly articulate their professional voice, building a portfolio, a CV and a personal brand with a unique fingerprint. The best of them will do internships in local and international agencies (Depot Russia, Supple Studio UK & Bruketa Zinic Grey Croatia) and, of course, will receive a diploma confirming the specialization.
