At Braw Talent, we believe creativity should be for everyone! That’s why we’re on a mission to open doors, break barriers, and give people the chance to explore their creative talents. From filmmaking and animation to visual arts, we provide people with the skills to share their stories, no matter the challenges they face.
We love collaborating with organisations to create bold, impactful content that amplifies voices and drives change. Founded in 2019, we’re all about making creativity accessible and fun for all.
Our Process
We kick things off by chatting with participants to get a feel for their learning goals and storytelling hopes. That way, we can shape the project to fit them.
Next, we collaborate with participants to cook up some creative ideas that hit the right message, with a process that’s totally bespoke to each group.
Finally, it’s time to review the results together, have a chat about the final touches, and give it the thumbs-up before the launch!
To see how we bring this process to life in real projects, check out our case studies!
