Free Hype is UCL's creative agency. We connect students to charities and NGOs looking for pro bono work. While students are not professionals in the field, over the course of the academic year we offer training in design, marketing, and brand development. We form teams comprised of 5-10 students according to their ability and interests, and appoint a team leader who liaises with the partner organisation. We work to 10 week briefs, as per university term times. Get in touch!

WHO WE ARE // We are a student-run pro bono creative agency here at UCL. We help charities by offering them free creative services such as graphics and social media management… We are dedicated to starting conversations about the ethics and social responsibility involved in the creative industries, and how design, marketing, and advertising can be used as a force to create meaningful change. WHAT WE DO// We get briefs from charities and we execute them as creatively as possible, with as little money as possible. We think, plan, write, draw, film, design and have fun. We run workshops to learn skills needed in the creative industry, such as Photoshop, editing and social media management. We host lectures from academics, industry professionals, and charities, and visit museums, galleries, and agency headquarters to learn from the best. WHY WE DO IT// We want to help. Charities with good causes need help with their advertising, marketing and visual image. Getting the right message across is important, and we're passionate about figuring out how to do that. Furthermore, in a social climate where activism and social justice have become trendy tools for brand promotion, we seek to educate and empower students who wish to enter the creative industries, so that they can go on to build careers promoting meaningful change, rather than working to create an illusion of it.
