Pete Ioulianou (words) & Ollie Agius (pictures) are a creative team based at Archibald Ingall Stretton (they are also world-record holders). These guys secured a full-time job at the agency after impressing everyone (suits & creatives) during their placement.
Enthusiastic, full of great ideas and willing to work their socks off – they made a huge impression at the agency while I was working with them, so much so that I had the confidence in the talent coming out of universities to go and setup Concept Cupboard.
They’ve recently been working with O2 & Arsenal on the O2 Fives campaign. Not bad for your first major project.
Here are the questions we asked during the interview:
- What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given by someone in the industry?
- What advice would you pass on to any young creatives?
- How did you get your first job after leaving University?
- Are there any campaigns you have seen recently that have really impressed you?
- What was the hardest part of joining an agency after leaving University?
- What advice would you give to a student creative working from a written client brief?
- Where do you go for inspiration?
- What are your top tips for students about to go on placement?
- How do you deal with differences of opinion as a creative team?
- You set a few world-records while on placement. What were they & why did you do it?
