Competition: CS Presents – Hold on, your planning’s showing – Why we still need ideas

csplanningv2eventbriteOur pals at Creative Social are hosting their next event @ LBi on the 11th June.

“CS Presents – Hold on, your planning’s showing – Why we still need ideas”

They’ve got one ticket to give away, all you have to do is to follow and tweet us at twitter.com/glug and include #cscomp with the answer to this question:

“What advice would you give yourself now if you’d just met yourself 10 years ago?”

A bit more info below.

Do you ever see an ad and find yourself asking ‘‘Where’s the ‘creative’ idea gone?’ If so, you need to come to our latest CS Presents where we have assembled a kick ass line up of Socials to talk about the value of great insight and developing ideas off the back of them:

Becky Power, Executive Creative Director, Lowe Open

Chris Baylis, ECD Tribal DDB, London

Sam Ball, Creative Partner, Lean Mean Fighting Machine

Tim Palmer, Digital Creative Director & Board Director, Inferno Ltd

George Prest, VP, Executive Creative Director, R/GA

More info on their blog and tickets can be bought from there too.

NB. This is not a Glug event, don’t try and buy tickets from us ;)

Soapbox & sons and Artefact Picture Framers

Proudly present - Lolcat – Teh Exhibishun

A group art show exploring the weird and wonderful world of lolcats.

We’ve brought together an array of cool cats and witty kitties – including graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, animators and writers.

The exhibition takes place at The Framers Gallery with 50% of all proceeds going to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

This evening of talks brings together five top players in the creative industry who came together to create Web Lab, as series of interactive installations connected to the web live at the Science Museum in London.
