About

The HAT Collective is a collaborative effort of the History of Advertising Trust (HAT) and several institutions of higher education around the UK. Our aim is to enrich the education of next generation advertising and creative communications professionals by creating a collaborative learning community conceived by students, for students.

We offer a variety of activities to boost students’ CVs. Everything we do is based on what graduates and industry advisors have told us to kick-start students’ careers after graduation. The HAT Collective regularly:

  • Organises speaker events and workshops that are free to attend for all students in higher education;
  • Publishes short articles written by recent advertising and creative communications graduates who share their personal experiences of transitioning into industry and talk about the things they would have liked to know themselves as students;
  • Organises the nationwide student competition: The Past Is Now. Join us on Twitter or Instagram to compete and win this industry accolade!
