Projects
- Transport for LondonThe idea of the evening was to show case the new TV Campaign, Share the Road with the senior clients. I structured a presentation with our Executive Creative Director to present the digital innovation and how this is changing the concepts of advertising, The event took place in a private cinema screening which then led to a Q&A discussion with the ECD. Afterwards we had arranged a drinks evening on our roof terrace. I planned the intimate evening for 50 people.
