EVENT: YOUNG CREATIVE COUNCIL X WUNDERMAN THOMPSON - BLACK CAT CRITS
The YCC have joined forces with Wunderman Thompson for Black Cat Crits – an evening of quick-fire book crits with various teams from their agency.
From 6pm on Wednesday, March 25, they’ll be at WT’s swanky offices to offer 20 junior creative teams the opportunity for feedback on their portfolio – with their faves potentially bagging a placement too.
Getting your hands on a ticket gives each team/solo creative at least two x 25 min crits from creatives at Wunderman Thompson – with at least one being with a Creative Lead/CD/ECD.
There’ll also be plenty of time talk to other staff, network and have drinks in between crits.
Tickets are FREE. They’re just operating a ‘£5 refundable on attendance’ ticket.
