WATFORD ADVERTISING COURSE ON TOUR 2015.

Another amazing Watford Tour of Adland. 

The 2015 Tour saw us at Burnetts, AMV/BBDO, CHI, Fallon, Saatchis, WCRS, Dare, Google, BBH, Publicis, VCCP, 18Feet And Rising, McCann, Adam And Eve/DDB, and Mother.

 We worked hard. We learned loads. We put on weight. And we 'lost' teams to the business along the way. 

WCRS, McCann, Adam and Eve/DDB, BBH, Saatchis, BMB, M&C Saatchi all awarded placements before the end of the course.

Chris and Rosanna were given a contract in April at WCRS following a successful placement at Easter.

Thank you to all our old friends, the new friends we made (Janay!), our supporters and the ex -students who helped me build another crop of talented, hireable people for the business.

See you next year.

BBH's Nikki Lindman has won more advertising awards than the number of air bubbles in my goldfish bowl. However, she has never forgotten her very first award as a student, The Oven Glove Of Inspiration, for The Watford Campaign Of The Week.

The amazingly witty and erudite Jim Carroll delivers one of the smartest talks of our Watford year at BBH.

Memories don't leave like people do.
They always stay with you.
Whether they've been good or bad.
They're always something that you had.
