BIC’s Mix+Mentor Events
Proximity to midtown Manhattan and many major communications corporations is one of BIC’s core assets, allowing students and industry to intersect in meaningful ways. BIC often introduces our latest batch of brilliant BICsters to the industry at Mix + Mentor events.
A Some are party like networking atmospheres inside a NYC agency. Some take place at CCNY or in other local area businesses. It's a but business, a bit casual and a it fun. The mixer can create a platform for recruiters and professionals to connect with students in shared areas of interest.
Mentors have from companies such as Droga5, RGA, Edelman, SWAT NYC, Shipyard, COG, Accenture, Strawberry Frog, The Blank Project, Bear in the Hall, New York Times, , GroupM, MediaLink, TBWA, Deutsch, BBDO, HAVAS PR, Draftfcb, Horizon Media, Ketchum, Finn Partners, and Weber Shandwick, VML, Golin and many more.
There are few other advertising or portfolio schools where students end up in a texting basis with heads of agencies, CCO's or consultants from the top firms. Mentors are invaluable for our students and are able to offer advice, meet regularly for check-ins, provide case studies, suggest books, do agency tours, offer internships/jobs, and generally do what it takes to encourage student growth and graduate the type of talent the industry would like to recruit.
