Plenary Session A – 09.30 – 10.30 – how to beat the competition - presentation skills & interview techniques
First impressions count. And if it’s a job you’re after, they can count for a great deal. Why risk getting it wrong when you can so easily get it right? With some of the fundamentals solved your work will be able to speak for itself.
Hosts: Mandy Wheeler, Punch it Up and Tim Ashton, Antidote
Session B – 10.45 – 11.45 – how to make your ideas your own - copyright and idea protection
Creativity is a difficult thing to ‘own’. Once your idea is out there, how do you ensure that you get the credit? Let the lawyers at Design Protect give you an insight into your legal rights and get you thinking ahead.
Host: Design Protect – Alex Papakyriacou, Briffa Lawyers
Session C – 10.45 – 11.45 – how did we do it?
How do you stand out from the crowd? By using the advice of recent D&AD New Blood exhibitors and award winners. Come and learn what it’s like from those who were in the same position as you but who have now landed great jobs.
Hosts: Lisa & Alex, Glue London plus other award winning and successful graduates from the last few years
Plenary Session D – 12.00 – 13.00 - how to make your mark
Getting your first job can be tough but with the right advice at least you’ll know you’re doing all the right things and maximising your chances. The current market requires a range of disciplinary talents and we have asked Garrick Hamm, D&AD Vice President to offer you advice on how to make the most out of placements.
Host: Garrick Hamm, Williams Murray Hamm
Session E – 14.00 – 15.00 - how to start your own business/go freelance
Gain from other people’s experiences in setting up a business. Two very different start up operations will give you the benefit of their wisdom and an insight into the pleasure and the pain of getting a creative business off the ground, whether you want to work on your own or are looking to start your own company.
Hosts: Andrew Ross, Andrew Ross Studio and Greg & Al, Collective
Session F – 14.00 – 15.00 – how to be successful
Once you’ve got the dream job, how do you keep your craft fresh? How do you establish yourself as a success? We’ve invited some of the most inspiring personalities and creative entrepreneurs to help you be amongst the first who stand out.
Hosts: Andy Sandoz & Ben Mooge, Work Club
