Moonlight over Madison

My last blip on the New York visit with my two colleagues and 20 #adprstudents. The moon over Madison draws a close to the trip, and what a trip. DDB, Strawberry Frog, Ogilvy PR and 5WPR were just fantastic visits. JWT were on pitch-day while two other big agencies didn't quite understand that we had travelled over three and a half thousand miles to see them, and that not only twenty potential employers were visiting, but three ad lecturers who use their agencies and ads in case studies.

But back to the positives. Meeting ad legend Keith Reinhard and two young creatives in DDB, in a superbly organised visit; listening to Juda in 5W; Strawberry Frog charming us, educating us (and then giving us all a t-shirt) and everyone who took the time to chat to us at OgilvyPR - a touch of class there.

And personally, a week in New York with two excellent colleagues and twenty future ad and PR stars (with 54 back home too) and a stroll over Brooklyn Bridge yesterday - and the feel and vibe in the apple in general and Madison and midtown in particular. Awesome week. See you next year. Now to get back to work. Lot to come.
