Today’s spotlight: Disney's #DreamBigPrincess series, a global project designed to empower aspiring female filmmakers. This series was recently announced as part of a $1 million donation campaign for GirlUp, a United Nations initiative. We can't wait to see what these talented young women are capable of!qq
One of our new Co-Director's of Brand Identity is our new internship spotlight! Bentley is working with the photographer Santiago Garces (@snapkiller) in the studio @seltona in Barcelona, Spain. She's helped Santiago with multiple shoots, including some at camp nou, the stadium for FCB. She's learning how running a studio and successful photography business works and how to interact with clients and form relationships. Bentley says she loves the internship and never wants to leave (but we hope she comes back)!
Look at our previous Brand Identity Director go! Ashley is currently working full-time as Marketing Manager at Kentuck Art Center. This is a new position, so Ashley has the rare opportunity to define the role! Ashley says that her work "definitely includes social media, graphic design, photography, and website and brand management" and she has a few other projects up her sleeves. We are so proud of you and your accomplishments!
It looks like our new Programming Director is having a blast in Korea! Dominique is currently working at Aving Global News, going to exhibitions and shooting promos for their YouTube website, along with editing trailers for the website. She also worked with branding the new website and MIK (Made in Korea) event for August.
