Networking

Last week I was lucky enough to attend one of the D&AD lectures where guest speaker Yuka Furukawa, from the Denstu agency Japan, spoke. He talked about how they work as an agency and how best to get work that fits both the client needs and the agencies passion to push boundaries. He showed us some of the amazing work they have produced and talked about how they made them. His talk covered 3 of many points he made about being successful in the industry. Overall a very good talk and a great way to spend a Wednesday evening!

One of the main points that stuck in my mind after the talk!

Q&A -proved a lil tricky with a big room full of questions and interpreter. (Slow but informative)

I recommend people try and get tickets to the next President Lectures talks they are a great way to learn about other talent, how other agencies and cultures work. After all we can only learn from the best!

Another month another great She Says event.

In the theme of Halloween, She Says London held an evening of industry horror stories at the Covent Garden office of FBC Inferno (where myself and Natalie were on our 2nd placement!).

There were stories told all of which were both terrifying and hilarious. It’s rare that in this industry we talk about negative stories of the places we are working so it was quite refreshing to hear whats really goes on, in terms of clients, conference calls, reply all emails etc…

From The Sausage girls, French Lotto desert drives and the elephant in the room the stories were brilliantly told.

Here’s some photos I took with my Canon.
