the community

 

A community of rock-stars built
from the best in the business.

A great education is built on the shoulders of a great faculty. But a killer career is built on the shoulders of a killer network. These are the giants whose shoulders our students stand on.

Advisors, donors, speakers, and more... 

Board of Advisors 

We've assembled some of the top creative minds in Colorado and beyond to help us build The Brand Studios into a top tier program. They offer their guidance on our curriculum, share their knowledge with current students, and share their networks with recent grads to help launch and steer careers.
