JMC Academy is excited to announce its brand new integration initiative, “Make it with JMC”. This initiative aims to encourage students from all the different departments of JMC Academy to work together on real collaborative commercial projects, providing them with real world industry experience.
Integration is a crucial aspect of study and unique offering at JMC Academy. It assists students in gaining a clearer understanding of the interrelated networks at play on a creative project. Be it the production of a print, TV or cinema advertisement, app or music for a film, the relationships between client, management and creative team is one that needs to be understood through experience. The art of delivering to a brief is an invaluable skill that many students need to learn as they embark on their professional careers.
“We felt the best way to give our students this opportunity was to involve them in pitching concepts for a series of real commercial projects we had on scope. We are confident in the quality of work our students produce and so trust in their ability to undertake work that would normally be outsourced to working industry (designers, copywriters and music producers,” says Karen Markakis, Head of Marketing and Branding. “Instead of financially rewarding external providers, we were able to remunerate our students for the same work with potentially more honest and better outcomes.”
