Academy welcomes new board member to help young people with creative choices
Sutton Coldfield-headquartered creative agency WAA Chosen has joined the board of the Greater Birmingham Professional Services Academy (GBPSA), part of BMet College.
Head of talent at WAA Chosen Jack Trimble (pictured) becomes a member with immediate effect.
WAA Chosen is one of the Midlands' leading creative and marketing agencies.
By supporting GBPSA it will be able to offer insight and practical support to students considering a career in the marketing and communications sector.
This important and exciting sector of professional services can be overlooked by young people so for students at GBPSA to have access to this world via engagement with one of the country's most successful marketing agencies will be transformative.
WAA Chosen joins a wide range of professional firms who support GBPSA. Patrons include BNP Paribas Personal Finance, Deloitte, Gateley, KPMG, Lloyds Banking Group and SuperTech.
Suzie Branch-Haddow, vice principal for external development at BMet and founding director of GBPSA, said: “We are delighted to welcome WAA Chosen to the Board.
“Jack will be a valuable contributor to our work going forward, not only in offering expertise and knowledge about the opportunities that exist in marketing and communications but our wider Academy growth strategy as we embark on our second decade.
“The creative, marketing and communication sector is such an exciting world but can be hard to access. The insight provided by WAA Chosen will open up a new, inspiring and exciting landscape for our students.”
Jack said: “WAA Chosen is really pleased to have partnered with GBPSA.
“As a business we have always put inclusion at the heart of everything we do. I personally believe that companies in whatever sector should represent the society in which they exist and operate and that is not always the case in the marketing sector.
“Therefore, our involvement with the Academy - where we will be able to offer insight and, I hope, inspiration to young people to look at the marketing sector as a potential for a career - is the right thing to do. I join the Board of GBPSA at an exciting time and I hope I can play a part in its future success.”
