Last week’s event brought together an incredible mix of students, creatives, and Norwich businesses for an evening full of energy, opportunity, and collaboration.
From the moment doors opened, the room buzzed with conversation as attendees connected, shared ideas, and built relationships that will carry well beyond the day itself. What began as a chance to bring industry and emerging talent together quickly became a celebration of Norfolk’s creative community — and a powerful reminder of what can happen when fresh ideas meet real-world experience.
One of the standout successes of the event was the incredible turnout from local businesses. We welcomed a wide range of organisations from across Norfolk, each bringing their own expertise, personality, and real-world insight. Throughout the evening, representatives introduced themselves to students, shared what they do, and opened the door to genuine, meaningful connection.
It was inspiring to watch students confidently approach businesses, ask questions, and showcase their own creative potential. Equally, the businesses were enthusiastic to offer guidance and learn more about the emerging talent right on their doorstep. The room buzzed with conversation.
What truly made the event special was the mutual benefit: students gained exposure to real industry voices, and businesses discovered fresh perspectives and potential collaborators for future projects. Several organisations expressed how impressed they were by the quality of student work and the professionalism they encountered — many left with details to connect and to sign up for the opportunity to work with them on a collaboration.
And perhaps the most exciting part? This event is only the beginning. We are genuinely thrilled about the coming months as we begin working on rebrands for several Norfolk businesses. The energy and partnerships formed at the event have already sparked momentum, and we can’t wait to see these collaborations come to life.
The combination of local industry support, student creativity, and shared ambition signals an exciting new chapter — not just for our team, but for the Norfolk brands we’ll be working with. Big things are ahead.
