calling all tea-loving aspiring creatives
Ask any successful creative how they got to where they are now, and you can bet the word "mentor" will come up. Mentoring is the bread and butter of the Young Creative Council, and they've found a pretty innovative way of helping creatives pay it forward to the next generation.
In partnership with YCC, our creative Jason Scott and his other (better?) half Victoria will be sharing their knowlege for free and opening up their home for an evening of folio feedback and tea. The pair aren't new to this game, they've dished out advice to aspiring creatives and students from all over the UK in their home once before. We're told it was a resounding success; creatives from top agencies looked at ten books and rumour has it, a few up-and-comers even bagged themselves jobs.
If this sounds appealing to you, they're doing it again next week on Tuesday 25th February at their home in Brixton. Creatives from Wieden+Kennedy London (that's us!), Mr President, R/GA, Poke, Leo Burnett and VCCP amongst others will give crits over a cuppa, hence the slightly punny name TEA & BisCRITS. Jason reassures us the name wasn't his idea – we'll let him off, just this once.
There’s room for ten folios, so email yours to Jason if you want to have a go. They'll also be doing Skype crits through the night as well, for those that can only be there in slightly pixelated spirit.
The deadline for entries is Friday, so get your hustle on and send all your best bits to Jason post-haste.
