This is no ordinary N50 Pentel Pen Marker, this pen was ‘liberated’ by myself during a failed attempt to gain a place on Wieden and Kennedy’s WKside scheme.

This pen appears to have soaked up the creative energy flowing around the Wieden and Kennedy studio and, believe it or not, has the power to create award winning ad campaigns entirely on its own.

I’m not entirely sure how it works, it may be something they put in the ink. I am, however, sure Wieden and Kennedy would like to keep the secret of their successes away from competitors almost as much as rivals would like to get their grubby mits on this little creative Holy Grail.

Therefore I am confident of making a pretty penny one way or another and it looks like my interview wasn’t entirely fruitless.

Happy bidding

We met some fantastic creative people as part of the W+K Side interview day a couple weeks ago. It was an inspiring session for everyone – certainly ourselves – and we all learnt a great deal from the day. One of the candidates wrote us a nice note afterwards and left a piece of their hidden talent on a napkin which we wanted to share – how cool is that Civic!

Dear WKside Team,

Firstly, let me thank each and everyone one of you for such a great experience. It is one which I´ll always remember. From the moment I walked into the wacky world of WK I could sense the creativity in the air and the lo…ong but extremely fun day only proved it further. It was a very interesting and refreshing experience and I really appreciate the enthusiasm, patience and friendliness with which we were all received.

I´m disappointed as the thought of the challenges which lay ahead really excited me, but I understand choosing 4 out 15 people must itself be a challenge. Having met you all and seen what you are cooking there, I´ve returned with an even stronger desire to find the creative inspiration I witnessed at WK, here. Still, I promise that on my next trip to

London

I can´t thank you enough for giving me this opportunity. Take care, and I hope to see you guys again sometime soon.

Thanks

M
