tony in helsinki
Creative supremo Tony D was in Finland last week to speak at a do organised by Helsinki agency Hasan & Partners. Their client, Helsingin Sanomat, is the biggest daily in the Nordics. A few years ago they got them going on an idea about holding "get togethers" for the creative community in Helsinki. The point was to get everybody together, which rarely happens except at some award shows, and inspire and provoke some discussions within the group.
The sessions are about creativity. Speakers give their insight on what great and successful advertising demands and show examples that illustrate their views.
Previous speakers have included Jim Carroll of BBH, Paul Arden of ArdenSutherlandDodd, Matthijs de Jongh of Kessels & Kramer, Trevor Beattie of BMB, and Matthew Bull of Lowe. So Tony, who spoke on the theme ‘Walk in Stupid’, was in illustrious company.
Apparently there were about 300 people there. Did any of our readers attend?
