Come on down!
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.
