Steve Holmes, Head of Digital and Sally Aisbitt, Client Services Director will be representing Coolpink at the Inspire. Create event(part of Leeds Digital Festival) on Thursday 27th October with an hour long seminar that will ‘unwrap’ the world of digital. The event that will be held at the Faversham has been organised by Leeds Media and Social Alchemy and will combine an exhibition of budding creatives’ work with a series of seminars and workshops in a bid to support Yorkshire’s rising stars.
Nick Ramshaw, Chair of Leeds Media comments: “Leeds Media is committed to helping develop, attract and retain the very best talent in our region. This is essential to support the continued development of our creative industries and this event is another example of the practical help Leeds Media is providing to ensure this happens.”
Workshops and seminars will be held by representatives from some of the UK’s leading agencies, which are all based in the Leeds City region, including Ogilvy, Jelly London, Thompson Brand Partners, BrandNu, and Creative England (previously Screen Yorkshire).
Michaela Laubscher, Director of Social Alchemy commented: “As a young person and a business owner, I’ve seen first-hand how difficult it is to break into the media industry. Events like Inspire. Create. are important for breaking down barriers by allowing young creatives to meet their industry peers face to face. Our range of seminars and workshops will inspire students, graduates and freelancers to take the important next steps in their career – whether that’s getting a placement within an agency, or starting up their own.”
The session will delve into the digital arena, look at how it has developed in the agency environment and provide an overview of the diverse roles and skills those working in the sector need.
