Packed with Bobby’s experiences from art school, his career at a London branding agency and, of course, co-founding The Click Design Consultants, our presentations are insightful and inspirational for any student hoping to forge a career in design.

Creative thinking workshops
Our creative thinking workshops offer an intensive one-day session, which we can tailor to suit your audience and curriculum. Typically, the workshop starts with a slide show to introduce The Click, show examples of our creative work, and outline the agenda for the day. We then get to work, setting a brief for the students and overseeing them as they work on it throughout the day. We round things up with a critique where students present their ideas to the rest of the group. Find out more about our creative thinking workshops >
“We hired Bobby to facilitate a creative thinking workshop for our graphic designers. What the students get from the complete workshop is a feeling that it is all possible. The pitch is just right and the work backs up the commentary. It is all delivered in a way that opens doors for them; we see the immediate effects in the work they produce. The process is completed at the end of the day with the students presenting their work to each other and to Bobby for critical review of their ideas and outcomes. It always works really well.”
“If only we could achieve the level of attention, effort and results he commanded from our students every day! To say the group were thoroughly engaged in the whole day would be an understatement.”
