Sponsor Testimonials: Brilliant Noise

“Talent can just be blocked by a thought that 'that’s not for me, that’s for other people, that’s not my kind of industry, it’s too hard, you need to go to university.' It’s not true.”

A Founding Sponsor of Lighthouse Young Creatives who have supported the scheme since it first launched, Brilliant Noise is a Brighton-based marketing agency for big brands such as Jaguar, Adidas and American Express.

For CEO Anthony Mayfield, it is Lighthouse Young Creative’s emphasis on ensuring the creative sector doesn’t miss out on untapped talent, that resonated for him. He says:

“It’s very very easy for people who are perhaps in families where people work in the professions already, or for people who work in them already, to understand that there’s no great mystery to it.

“But for people who don’t have those role models around them, they’re going to lose out, and that means ultimately the creative industries are going to lose out because that talent can come from anywhere. And that talent can just be blocked by a thought that ‘that’s not for me, that’s for other people, that’s not my kind of industry, it’s too hard, you need to go to university.’ It’s not true.

“There’s so many ways talent can come through and win in the creative industries. Brilliant Noise just wanted to support Lighthouse Young Creatives to create a few more chances for a few more people to go ‘actually that could be for me’.”

We’d like to thank Brilliant Noise for their continued support of Lighthouse Young Creatives and for sponsoring the upcoming third round of the scheme.
