Welcome to Optimism

Spoke too soon!

Ignore WKside 4’s last post. Put the champagne back on ice and the cake back in the… cake container. The concept has become so amazingly fantastic that it can’t possibly fit in the window by monday. We’ll keep you posted as to the actual date – but trust us, it’ll be worth it. Oh yes.

In the meantime, here is some lego for you.

(We didn’t do this, but if you would like to see where we ffffound it, go here. The siders recommend it highly.)

Back to Ad School

Over the last few weeks W+K has been hosting Lucy and Darren’s advertising talks and workshops for colleges from far and wide.
First to visit was Philip Wolki and his students from the Design Factory, Hamburg.
After our talk Dazza gave everyone a guided tour of the office and as always made a lasting impression.

Next to pop in for a cuppa and a croissant were our old friends Dani and Paul and their classmates from the University of Sunderland. As well as their ever enthusiastic course leader Keith Nevens. We love the course Keith and the great work you’re doing, keep it up!

The guys and gals of Salford University popped in on Wednesday with their course leader Chris Morris. No photos of Salford I’m afraid but trust me they were all gorgeous! As always Ronny was on reception to meet and greet them with a warm, friendly W+K welcome.

Tuesday evening saw creative advertising students from our old college, Watford in for a beer and a crit . All that was missing from the evening was the legendary man himself, Tony Cullingham. We hope to see him very soon.

Thursday rolled round and we met more new friends, Senior Lecturer, Gyles Lingwood and his students from Lincoln School of Art and Design at Lincoln Uni.
Gyles is doing great things with his course even though it’s only been going a few years.

Now Dazza and I are slightly hoarse so we’re going to get back to the layout pads, wish all the guys and girls we saw luck and no doubt see them when they all graduate.
