Cross Creative is TRC’s pioneering digital media initiative. It is a 9 month programme for top creatives in digital media looking to expand their knowledge, networks, collaborative and creative horizons. It also aims to instil a more ambitious, entrepreneurial approach to the possibilities and partnerships in future media.

Specific outcomes include:

• Access to a raft of top digital players in the UK and USA
• Extended networks, contacts and potential partnerships
• Increased knowledge of cutting edge work being undertaken in digital media
• New approaches to creativity
• Greater awareness of potential revenue streams
• Heightened ambition, confidence and belief


Cross Creative provides a series of 8 monthly sessions led by industry experts, combined with a field trip to Silicon Valley to meet some of the world’s top creative and technology innovators.

The sessions last 1 day per month and are held at TRC media’s city centre offices in Glasgow offering a great opportunity to learn together and from each other and to form a delegate support network that endures way beyond the nine month programme itself.

Quotes from previous delegates:

"Unfailingly useful, always interesting and a great co-mentee group. MORE!" Dan Hon, Six to Start

"Cross Creative has given me a broader understanding of how the digital world is evolving and what new possibilities lie ahead for creating animated content in a non-linear, mainly online world." Joel Simon, Flickerpix

"Having access to the companies we met – with total freedom to ask questions and engage with them personally – was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I hope Cross Creative continues to offer this type of experience to people for many years to come.” Paul May, Design by Front
