WHAT THE INDUSTRY THINKS OF HYPER ISLAND:
”There is something that Hyper Island puts in its water. God knows what it is, but its graduates tend to have a fantastic attitude and
are able to hit the ground running”
–Derek Robson, Managing Partner, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco, USA
”Here in the UK Hyper Island is regarded as the pre-eminent breeding ground for top-class digital talent. A Hyper Island student is
practically guaranteed a job the moment they walk through the doors”
– Gavin Gordon Rogers, Executive Creative Director, Agency Republic, London, United Kingdom
“If you’re working at a top-tier, advertising or digital agency in the United States, you most likely know that our Swedish counterparts are consistently producing some of the best work out there. And what many of us hear is that Hyper Island is largely responsible. Our industry desperately needs more schools that specialize in creating & developing digital talent at the level and capacity of Hyper Island”
– Winston Binch, VP/Managing Director of Interactive, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Denver, USA
”There are schools and programs where you study for years without getting somewhere. Theory with no reality. Hyper Island is the total opposite. It’s about doing. It’s about experiencing. It is about getting in touch with the truth at an early stage and meeting the industry. Theory in practice. And by so in the best possible way learning how things work. For me this pedagogic is very rare and also one of the most amusing forms of education. Just brilliant. Also, the atmosphere of the school, its down to earth humble approach, combined with top class learning skills makes the school truly amazing”
–Daniel Ilic, Creative Director, North Kingdom, Stockholm, Sweden
”Hyper Island have a solid understanding of the industry, a never-ending desire to improve and great skills with people. I am amazed
how the students grow through the education and when they end up at some of the best communication agencies in the world,
they actually deliver”
–Mattias Nyström, Great Works, Stockholm, Sweden
