Congratulations and well done to John and Kyriakos who have both recently received much deserved promotions. John is now Head of Development in the Digital department and Kyriakos has gone from Account Executive to Account Manager. Keep up the good work chaps!
Contrary to what the majority of the photos suggest, 'the art of balloon sculpture' was not the main topic during a training session held last week, but the balloons did feature, as did several wigs and some travelling circus folk. Account Handlers, Creative, Design, Digital and Studio all took part in a day-long workshop with Dave Pope from Molotov Business Solutions, to improve presentation skills and build confidence.
The task required each team to create a game show and pitch it to a bunch of extremely hard-to-please TV executives, aka Nikki, Sophie and Dave. This included answering a string of demanding questions so as to learn to cope with one or two of our more demanding clients; you know who you are.
Ideas ranged from 'Cab Karaoke' with Alan Carr to 'Whose Round?' where you had to look at photos from a night out and guess what happened next, including a slightly controversial round called 'Slap or Snog'...
As for the balloons, well, who doesn't advocate a bit of animal balloonery to get the creative juices flowing? Sophie certainly does.
