As the adage goes “Everything happens for a reason”, so here are reasons about why we decided to join Ad-Land:
- There is something truly gratifying when someone asks what you do and you answer; ‘I help make TV ads, packaging, websites, press ads, radio commercials right down to tiny little stickers on pack’. Nobody ever replies with ‘Well that sounds pretty boring’…because it isn’t.
- When I first started my art college course I thought I was going to be a book illustrator, turns out I was misinformed.
- Because design is more than making things look pretty.
- I didn’t know I wanted to, until I tried it and then I couldn’t think of anything else. I love the start to finish approach, how you propose something and bring it to life. So fun, so varied, so satisfying.
- At a student Business Studies conference in London. There were presentations from Finance, Human Resources…and then a car advert played…a woman from took the stage and said “I work in Advertising – I do that” Decision made.
- So that I could do creative things every day instead of just at the weekend
- So I could continue my love affair of polo shirts and never need to go tie shopping
- I got in to advertising following a week’s work experience whilst at college, I was invited back as a paid summer job and I was hooked.
- In college I took media studies and one of the modules was marketing/advertising. My project was based on the marketing and advertising of the movie The Dark Knight and I got totally swept away with it.
- I was at school doing A-Level Chemistry and Physics and my best friend was at art college doing an Advertising & Graphics course. Naturally he was having lots more fun, so I jacked in school and joined him.
