Creative Comeback is one of our favourite projects, due to the lasting impact on the lives of the delegates that join the cohort every year. The aim of the programme is to help women or non-binary people, get back on the career ladder. The people that apply have usually taken a break from their creative career due to having children, sickness or caring for family. It is an amazing feeling to help them back into their dream career, and proof is in the pudding, with 4 out of 5 delegates finding employment post programme.
Flex partner with Creative Equals and D&AD (a non-profit advertising and design association) to design the programme, recruit the attendees and execute the delivery. The online programme runs for two weeks, via Zoom. We currently have run the programme in London, New York & Mumbai. Our main responsibilities are project management, liaising with sponsors (Diageo & Netflix), event design, social media, and tech production.

A little bit bonkers, totally inspiring, and leaving me with the firm conviction that there's a place for us Returners in the industry.
“Flex always bring a cool head to the programme and ensure it is delivered to a high standard and on time.”
