Inside (iris)

Welcome to The Bunker. Iris’ Creative Test Facility.

Our placement scheme is known as The Bunker, situated deep within our HQ at 185 Park Street. This is one of the most vibrant and creative parts of the capital. The building is actually bomb proof as it was used to house the back up power generators for Whitehall.

The Bunker will house 8 to 10 Miami Ad School students each quarter and will constantly experiment with new ideas, new ways of thinking and new viruses that will take the world by storm – producing contagious ideas that people will want to spend time with. It’s an environment where different creative perspectives and disciplines will be encouraged to collide in order to create ‘Unique ideas that get people talking’.

The aim is to expose our Miami Ad School students to a broad range of disciplines, techniques, skills and people within iris. Ultimately students will be thoroughly introduced to the real world of integrated creativity and allow them to gain unique knowledge and build up their portfolios.

As Bunker inhabitants, you will be designated creative mentors for the duration of your stay and have access to Creative Directors and senior staff from across the iris network.

Whilst collaborating with these talented individuals you’ll be working on exciting agency briefs for some of our key clients, such as Sony Ericsson, Volkswagen, Hertz and Adidas. You’ll also have an array of smaller real world experiments to work on from our envious client list.

Enjoy your stay.

‘Be better’ – a philosophy of continual improvement, for today’s era of continual change. We’re an agency and a culture that’s all about questioning and exploring – pushing ourselves to outdo what has been done before.
