About Us

Our Mission
Our mission is to empower lives through education. We seek to understand the passions of a new generation of students and help transform those passions into meaningful and fulfilling career trajectories. We do this by delivering relevant, experiential courses taught by industry experts from the world’s best brands.
Our History
BrandEd has been operating for two decades beginning with the acquisition of the London campus of Sotheby’s Institute of Art in 2003. Over the years we have built a portfolio of world-class academic programs with iconic brands including Sotheby’s Institute of Art, The School of The New York Times (est. 2016) City Football Leadership Institute (est. 2022) and Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design (acquired in 2023). BrandEd is owned by Cambridge Information Group (CIG), a family-owned investment firm since 1971 focused on long-term and meaningful ventures in education, technology, and information services.
Our Approach
We believe that the next set of premier education providers in the world will be those that are closely aligned with iconic, trusted brands.
