Presenting: Class One of our Trainers' Programme

We are really proud to present the next cohort of professionals in our Brand The Change Trainer Programme. After running two pilot programmes, we are now kicking off officially this spring. Class One hails from nine different countries and features people with very different experiences and skillsets: from marketing at a large entertainment company, to personal coaching for millennials, and everything in between, this class will truly bring brand thinking skills to all layers and corners of society.

Do you want to become a certified trainer? Applications for our next programme starting September 2019 are open now!
