Sarah:

Wkside to challenge, inspire and learn

Table. First floor. Four comps with all the trimmings. White wall.

Inductions and introductions.

Openness. Sharing and honesty. No one knows everything.

Creativity is subjective so have a reason

It’s about Solutions for Problems

Telling the truth is an interesting way

Get in the mood

Sky one: cooking with hash

Don’t say do

Choose those who push it not please you

Wevs girl is a mega-babe

Orlando doesn’t drink tea or coffee

Tom’s like simon pegg

I’m v.happy to be here.

I feel really blessed working with and in the presence of so many great creative designers all under one roof. Everyone treats you unbelievably nice, so much that I pause to look around sometime to see if it’s really real and if I’m really here….Yeah,” I am and I’m very thankful for being here….”Thanks for having me. W+K’, much appreciated.’

Meeting, greeting, talking and socialising with the W+K Team and seeing such a high quality of work really helps me to understand why W+K are so strong as a creative team and why they seem to be in the top bracket of every one’s list in London and around the world. They work very hard as individuals and even harder as a team.

My insight in becoming a part of the W+Kside team, working for Wieden +Kennedy has been very inspirational on all accounts.

GO DEEP

FIND THE NUGGET

BOX IT UP.

Tom:

So far the week’s consisted of meeting 3 very creative individuals with different ways of thinking, not to mention a whole company-worth of some highly energetic creative people. Overall it’s been extremely insightful and inspirational and I know that there will be more of that to come.

My highlight so far is being shown how creatives interpret a brief and the gradual stages and thought patterns of the creative journey they take to reach that final BIG idea.

Main points that have stuck in my mind are that W + K is a team.  It’s not about individuals it’s about working together and being willing to share and contribute. The other is that it is not like any other advertising company.  There are no closed doors just big rooms where all ideas are welcome.

Bring on the next three months!

Us:

Thanks to all that have spoken to us so freely and especially to our mentors: Sam Brookes, Natalie Field. Lucy Collier, Matt Berry & Matt Boffey.
