麻豆传媒团队

Our Employer partnerships are a key part of what we do at 麻豆传媒团队. By working with local businesses, we find a variety of ways to benefit both their organisation and our students. One recent example is a collaboration between 麻豆传媒团队 and Loopster, an up and coming second hand clothing company.

So, who is Loopster?

is start-up company designed to make buying and selling second-hand women鈥檚 and children鈥檚 clothes quick and convenient. With the shocking statistic of 350,000 million tonnes of discarded garments go to landfill in the UK, the company is on a mission to extend the life of fashion and make the industry more sustainable.

Loopster is backed by the , a government funded initiative which aims to unlock potential in the economy of Wales by increasing the provision of sustainable, effective finance. With the help of the scheme, Loopster now has a team in Newport as well as further staff in London and Lisbon.

But as a young start-up business, budget is limited. So, Loopster are always looking for opportunities to work with partners who can help them to scale up and bring them the skills they need to grow and develop the business. Working with 麻豆传媒团队 has allowed them to do exactly that.

How did 麻豆传媒团队 help?

The creative photography department at 麻豆传媒团队 helped Loopster by providing two student photographers and the use of their fully equipped studio, to shoot promotional images for Loopster鈥檚 Christmas Social Media campaign. With popular full time and part time photography courses available at the college, we weren鈥檛 short of talented photographers willing to gain some on-the-job experience with Loopster to boost their CVs.

The students produced a whole portfolio of high-quality images for the social media campaign, which resulted in more traffic being driven to Loopster鈥檚 website and converting to sales. In return, the learners had the opportunity to practice their skills on a professional photo shoot, providing them with valuable experience for their future careers.

Photography learner, Andrew Breading, was delighted to have the opportunity to work with Loopster, as it gave him the chance to do his first fashion photoshoot. He thought it was great fun working with both the client and the models, and he learnt a lot about lighting and the pressure of shooting in front of the customer. Following the insightful experience, Andrew now can’t wait for the next chance to do another fashion shoot.

Robyn Taylor, Marketing Manager at Loopster, explained that the partnership with 麻豆传媒团队 has been extremely helpful. The staff and students were very easy to work with and they were both empathetic and professional. The College鈥檚 Employer Engagement Advisor Claire was also very supportive and made the whole process easy for Loopster. So, Robyn is sure that Loopster鈥檚 collaboration with 麻豆传媒团队 has only just begun and we look forward to more exciting future projects yet to come.
