Sandbox U - Virtual Creative Mentorship
WHO WE ARE
We’re Hook—an award-winning creative content agency. With a collaborative, maker-centric team, and an emphasis on production-led design, we make ads, campaigns, and experiences that drive growth for the world’s most innovative brands.
Our mission is to integrate creative and production to help grow brands faster. But we believe what’s most important are the people who work with us and the experience they have along the way. We want clients to think of us as the best agency they’ve ever worked with, and we want everyone at Hook to feel like this is the best job they’ve had yet.
What is the Sandbox U Virtual Mentorship Program?
Sandbox U is a virtual program from Hook that exposes people to creative professions through mentorship and hands-on experience. We want to create more opportunities for aspiring creatives to be able to visualize a path in our industry, and launch themselves as creative professionals. Much like the safety and creative freedom that a sandbox provides, it’s our mission to support mentees while they explore their interests and build new skills.
What will my mentorship entail?
You will be paired with a Hook mentor based on your interests and goals indicated in your application. For 10 weeks starting in September, you will meet virtually with your mentor. You will decide together on the time, frequency, and platform that works best and set goals and topics to work on together.
Who is eligible?
Whether you're still studying in a university or certification program, are a recent graduate, are self-taught, or are pivoting from a different industry, we understand that starting a creative career can be daunting. If you're exploring whether to work for a brand, an agency, or as a freelancer, we get that too – many of us have been in your shoes. Regardless of your experience, if you have the drive and passion for the creative industry, we want to help and encourage you to apply! This program focuses on guiding candidates toward launching their creative careers. While we'd love to pair everyone, program selection will be based on matching your skills and interests with those of available Hook mentors. You don't need a resume, portfolio, or direct experience in the creative field to apply.
What else?
To participate in the mentorship, you will need to have access to a computer with video camera, internet, and be available to meet weekly over 10 weeks this Fall. We anticipate approximately 1 hour for weekly meetings with your mentor, workshops, and panels throughout this remote program.
We will be reviewing applications throughout the Summer and will begin mentee outreach for this year's program in late July into August.
Please note, this is not an internship program.
