Proof has always been committed to helping establish young talent.

With the UK having one of the strongest and most respected creative industries in the world, breaking into it has always been extraordinarily difficult – but today it is just about the hardest it has ever been.

We know this at Proof, because it wasn’t too long ago that we stood beneath this formidable behemoth ourselves, portfolios clutched in one hand and Oyster Cards in the other. We’ve experienced the frustration and anguish of big city life and we’ve heard first hand, the internship horror stories that are rife amongst graduates. We’ve lived off a shoestring budget, drank heartily from cans of bargain beer and been forced to find happiness within things far greater than money.

And so the name ‘Proof’ was coined, derived as a response to this exploitative treatment where older, blinkered individuals restrict the growth of graduates and stamp out this new blood.

This is why we exist. To do justice for those fearless graduates who are never given a chance to prove themselves – We here to represent you, so if you want help or advice on what to do next, then feel free to get in touch.
