We have the students from West Herts College in this week, along with tutor Tony Cullingham. The copywriting and art direction course at Watford has spawned countless creatives over the years, many of whom now reside at W+K. It’s one of the best ways of getting your foot in the industry door. Now the guys have their feet planted in our office for the next few days we thought it would be nice to highlight a few teams each day on W2O, along with a link to some of their work. So here they are:

Olly & Joe

Olly & Joe teamed up in March after they discovered a mutual love for the words 'man' and 'dude'. Olly studied Illustration at the London College of Communication, and Joe studied English at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Olly cares only for his bike and his legs. Joe reads a lot of books and isn't fat.
 
Christian and Fernanda aka Team Depp

I’m Christian. I studied Illustration at the Norwich School of art. Scribbled a lot. Enjoyed myself. Worked for a left wing political magazine after graduating. Enjoyed it at lot.  But after a while I felt lost. I started to find illustration and design a bit limiting. So I decided to give advertising a go. I’m glad I did.
 
I’m Fernanda. I come from Brazil. I did Advertising and Marketing. After opening a small company in my hometown I realised I wanted to learn more about advertising and have more fun on the way. I’m glad I came to London and I’m doing Watford.

Hello chaps.

Due to circumstances beyond our control (cuts to fees and scope by several clients in a short period of time) we are being forced to make redundancies at W+K London. Grim.

Unfortunately this means parting company with some smart, talented, hard-working people who are also good friends. One such is Account Exec Fern Trelfa whose approach to this tough situation is as positive, individual and can-do as her approach to everything.

If anyone has the right to wear a 'Welcome to Optimism' T-shirt, it's Fern.

She's off to Ibiza for a week but when she gets back she'll be looking for a job. So if you need an account exec, contact her.
