Conscious Minds Annual Scholarship

The Conscious Minds Scholarship was established in 2022 to aid underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students demonstrating both financial need and merit in Creative Direction and Brand Design.

Conscious Minds is an audience-first creative and production studio in Pasadena that exists to bring together a chorus of Conscious Minds to impact and transform our world through content that edifies and entertains. We put our values into action to foster community; and to put kind, inclusive, generous energy into the world around us through education, service and togetherness.

Conviction

We hold one core belief more deeply than any other. It’s the hill we will likely die on, the “Rosebud” whisper we’ll take to our grave. Here it is: Storytelling is the currency of human connection. Whether over coffee, around a campfire or depicted on a screen, stories captivate us, and can move us to change behavior or think differently.

For brands, that means the only marketing messages that live more than a split second in the minds of consumers, are those shaped into emotionally-immersive stories. We are a band of story-crafting messengers, and we love what we do.

Collaboration

We choose our clients the way people choose friends, because we believe fruitful collaboration isn’t just sharing ideas, it’s sharing life. We dive deep, listen, ponder, and invest in our partners. For us, the measure of success goes beyond consumer engagement, its the richness of the journey that gets us there. Let’s do this.

Craft

We use this word a lot. It’s a reminder that making something great doesn’t happen by accident. No story tells itself. No concept springs from thin air. No camera designs the right shot. So we have assembled a team of creatives and a roster of collaborators who are driven-from-within makers, relentlessly sweating the details.
