Marketing Communications student wins gold at Two+Two industry event
BA (Hons) Marketing Communications
BA (Hons) Marketing Communications students won five prizes at Two+Two 2025, a one-day collaboration event from Creative Resource, bringing together marketing and creative students with mentors from over 25 agencies.
Two+Two partnered with Stockport Climate Action Now (StockportCAN) to tackle climate change. Students were first mentored by senior marketing professionals, and then had the opportunity to pitch their ideas directly to StockportCAN.
BA (Hons) Marketing Communications student Chris Aschmann was part of the gold winning team who took 1st place, which included two students from two other northern universities. Chris and the rest of their team will now work with the APS Group and StockportCAN to develop their winning idea further.
Chris will also receive a mentorship at agency Emperor.
"Coming back to Two+Two this year was truly a great experience. Working with students from around the country in random teams, puts you in the deep end but is so rewarding seeing the way different people think. Would entirely recommend applying next year."
