Welcome to Optimism

goodbye from Joe

Joe

So this is my goodbye. I am Joe and have been on work experience here for a week. I also happen to be Anna Smith’s little-‘big’ brother, and I can’t believe none of you have tried to get any embarrassing info from me about my sister (and there is some!). Oh well, now you’ll never know….
Anyway just like to say thanks for having me; it has been a very interesting learning experience. I have done and seen a lot of new things. Due to my keen interest in all the elements of music my favourite part of the week would have to be going to Wave sound studios, where I got to sit in on a studio session for Rolex and  have a look around the transfer room. Other highlights included going to the Mill and Jungle studios on Monday, and sitting in on the WK agency meeting on Wednesday where I got to see lots of the really good work you have all been doing.
This has been a very important learning experience for me as I have never spent longer than 2 days in our lovely (hectic!) capital city, let alone work in it. I have had a good insight into how an advertising agency works, and how all the different departments work and interact with each other.
Once again thanks for having me and I wish you all the best for the future.

Peace out.

Joe

the rules

Mick_with_rules_t_shirt

Mick Bailey models the new W+K T-shirt, which arrives fashionably late for the summer 07 season. Lovingly crafted in 100% actual fabric it is available in two colourways – grey and orange (gents) and black and pink (ladies). The adventurous may choose to experiment with these arbitrary gender assignations. The shirt bears a reproduction of the now-legendary ‘rules’ of W+K, as found in the bottom of a drawer when Dan and Dave were asked to clear out their office at their former employers. They thought, ‘Don’t know who wrote these but they’ll do just fine’, and adopted them as the code of behaviour for the new agency they were leaving to start up. 

"Don’t act big. No sharp stuff. Follow derections (sic). And shut up when someone is talking."

The rules: they’re as good for you today as they’ve always been. You can buy these shirts off us, if you want.
