Circo Lab

Your creative future starts here.

Circo Lab is the place for students, interns and emerging creatives — find practical resources, connect with creative professionals and access mentoring. We also partner with universities and colleges to connect education with industry.

Talent is everywhere. Access isn’t. Circo Lab exists to change that.

[ what circo lab offers ]

Opportunities, not promises.

[ 01 ]

Mentoring

Regular one-to-one sessions with creatives who work across design, marketing, events, social media and PR — honest advice from people doing the job every day.

[ 02 ]

Industry connections

We open doors. Introductions to agencies, brands and freelancers in our network, so you meet the people who can give you that first break.

[ 03 ]

Internships & experience

Hands-on placements and work experience on live CIRCO projects — real briefs, real clients, real work for your portfolio.

[ 04 ]

Practical guidance

Portfolio reviews, CV clinics, interview prep and freelancing fundamentals — the practical skills that sit between talent and employment.

[ 05 ]

Workshops & talks

Talks, portfolio surgeries and creative workshops delivered on campus with our university and college partners.

[ 06 ]

A foot in the door

Some of our most exciting collaborations started with a placement student. Talent we meet through Circo Lab becomes talent we work with.

[ from the lab ]

Nobody enters this industry alone. We didn’t — and you don’t have to either.
