BSU launches new creative consultancy staffed by students

Tuesday, 6 January, 2026

Bath Spa University has recently launched Juno House, a new creative consultancy staffed exclusively by BSU students and graduates. The initiative bridges the gap between university and the freelance world by connecting emerging talent with paid, real-world projects from local businesses, charities, and internal university departments. 

To date, 41 students have signed up to work as part of Juno House, from across a wide range of academic disciplines taught at the University. Briefs so far have included branding and design, academic and research projects, community and sustainability initiatives, strategy and storytelling.

Each brief is overseen by a member of BSU’s Enterprise & Entrepreneurship Team (Careers & Employability) to ensure HR, payroll, and project management runs smoothly. Once the brief and budget are agreed, a team of Juno House members will be hired, and the project will begin. Teams are paired with academic or industry mentors to ensure work meets professional standards, while clients get fresh creative thinking at competitive rates. 

All students and graduates (up to three years after graduation) are invited to join Juno House where they can access workshops on professionalism, project management, and client relationships, receive an onboarding handbook and invitations to ongoing social and professional events, as well as 1-to-1 coaching with the Juno House team.  

True to its mission, the Juno House brand itself was built by BSU talent—from market research and logo design to website copy and social media strategy. You can find out more at www.junohouse.co.uk

Tiffany Frye, Enterprise & Entrepreneurship Manager, Bath Spa University: 

“We are very excited to work in a wide range of areas from the traditional creative disciplines such as graphic design, photography, copywriting, web design and animation through to areas such as research, impact measurement, sustainability audits, and business strategy.”  

“We exist to give students and graduates room to grow their skills and confidence, while helping businesses tap into fresh thinking for today’s challenges. Our model is simple. Clients hand us a brief; we assemble a team to tackle it. Every project is a space for new ideas to take shape and new voices to lead.” 

We invite all BSU students to join Juno House to get access to interesting, paid work and start building their portfolios early. Whether you’re looking to refer students, mentor talent, or commission high-quality work for your team or business, we are the industry's inside track to the next generation.”
