To make it as a creative in advertising it helps to talk to people. People who can give you feedback on your portfolio, bounce ideas around with you and share advice. But finding those people, and finding them when they have a few minutes free to chat with you, can be excruciatingly hard and awkward.
But hey, we’re a few creative directors, recruiters and strategists who have some time. So let’s talk. Maybe you’re a student who wants to figure out how to break into the business. Maybe you’re a junior who wants someone to critique your book. Maybe you’re a freelancer looking to network. Or maybe you just want to say hi.
It’s all good. It’s all free. Just click on any of us and book a video chat.
OH, AND READ THIS BEFORE YOU TALK TO A CREATIVE DIRECTOR (OR RECRUITER, OR STRATEGIST)
