Compass of Greater Atlanta announces the kickoff of a partnership with Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). The partnership, in collaboration with SCADpro, the university’s collaborative design and innovation studio not only gives students real-world experience developing a portfolio of advertising assets but offers Compass access to the next generation of SCAD’s brilliant creators and all their creative firepower. Through the Spring academic quarter, SCAD students will work to research and develop concepts to increase brand awareness for Compass in the Greater Atlanta area through creative, interactive, and hyper-local marketing campaigns that connect Compass with the community.

“We are thrilled to partner with SCAD and help mold the next generation of innovators, artists and doers,” said Alex Page, Regional Luxury Marketing Division Lead. “Education is a key component of Compass’ culture, and we look forward to working with students in the SCADpro program to create something amazing together.”

SCADpro is a collaborative design studio that connects current and future art and design professionals with business leaders to find creative solutions to real-world challenges. The studio has helped generate new ideas and products for companies around the world, from Fortune 500s to public small- and mid-cap organizations. SCADpro participants meet with partner organizations over the course of 10 weeks to deliver design briefs, conduct regular reviews and attend final presentations of bespoke concepts and deliverables.
