DAD sponsors Graduate Creative Award at Birmingham City
University
Sponsor a graduate award? Why would DAD do that? Two reasons
really. The first is our heartfelt belief that new talent deserves
support and should be given a chance to blossom. Second, as an
agency with big plans, it's one of the best ways of seeking out the
hottest up and coming talent out there. And that's why we sponsored
the Digital Award at the recent Birmingham City University Graduate
Awards.
The event, held on the 15th June 2010 at the Glee
Comedy Club, featured work from student creatives, film-makers,
photographers, illustrators, graphic designers and animators in
their final year at the university.
The evening had all the glitz and glamour of the Oscars with a
keynote speech given by famous UK photographer, Brian Griffin.
Each award was presented by the individual sponsor - in DAD's
case our very own Digital Creative Director Ben Winter, who has
previously spoken as a guest lecturer at Birmingham University's
creative department, presented the Digital Advertising Award.
Sam Berrington, one of three digital advertising students
shortlisted for the category, won with his excellent display and
thorough understanding of digital marketing and creativity. Sam
walks away with a much prized trophy and a two week work placement
at DAD's offices in Battersea, London where he will experience the
cut and thrust of a dynamic, digital creative agency first
hand.
Congratulations to Sam and we look forward to seeing more of
your great work - only this time for some of our clients.
