WE ARE RA*W
RA*W-ers have a wide variety of employers, expertise and experience, but pursue the same goal:
MORE, BETTER, FASTER PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
did and does little to support this ambition. So we rolled up our sleeves. Sharpened our knives. And took matters into our own hands.
THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY..
we achieved a lot:
· Inspiring sessions with top agencies · Workshops with inspiring brands · Training days · Trips to Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity · RA*W University for students · The launch of a mentorship program · An active, ever-growing following · And a lot of awareness
IN 3 YEARS..
This is how we started, by hosting sessions at various advertising agencies. During these sessions young talents were inspired by the experienced ‘old hands’.
These sessions have evolved into hands-on inspiration sessions by great minds from all corners of the creative industry.
INSPIRATION SESSIONS
During the RA*W community sessions that we organise 3-4 times a year, talent can discuss al kinds of topics with their peers: from discovering your passion, to salary or setting career targets.
The RA*W community closed Facebook group (young talent only!) offers a platform to share information and questions on a day-to-day basis.
RA*W COMMUNITY
In 2014 we organised our first RA*W LAB. For 1.5 days, multidisciplinary teams worked towards innovative, impactful solutions to a real life business challenge at Red Bull.

RA*W CAREER DAYAd talent often works really hard, but in the meantime forgets to tell people what they’re good at and what their career goals are. That's why we help them bring their career building skills to a higher level during 6 x 30 minute sessions at RA*W Career Day.
How about 500+ speakers and over 250 sessions in one week? Every year in June we pack our bags and attend the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
With 28 RA*W Reporters we share the knowledge, inspiration and energy of the festival with everyone back home, and even organise our own private Q&A’s with international advertising heroes. cannes.rawadvertisers.com

RA*W UNIVERSITYAll RA*W’s activities focus on young working talent. Since there was a growing number of students applying for our sessions, we’ve launched RA*W University. Sessions intended to give students an insight in the world of advertising, and close the gap between study and first working experience.
The advice we heard over and over was: find a mentor. But where to start? That’s why we launched our latest initiative: RA*W Mentorship, where we team-up experienced seniors from the creative industry with ambitious juniors, based on profile and career goals.
