My reflections on this year's Two+Two are mainly ones of gratitude. It's hard for a small business to find the time and money to run an event like Two+Two, we could never have imagined how it would scale, and without the generosity in time and money from the industry it would never have taken off. This year was more challenging than usual, a tough trading year last year meant it would be fiscally irresponsible to do it really. However, the support, in money and resources, we were pledged meant we were able to go ahead, all rather more last minute that usual, but we got there! The result? I say the best yet every year, but it really felt like it was. We kept it tight and trim and for the first time it was fully funded, thanks to some very generous organisations: Ian Lenehan at McCann Manchester, Clare Roberts (Assoc CIPD) at Brandon Consultants, James Lawton-Hill at APS Group, Holly Harkin at Havas Lynx, Jenny Jones at Sound & Colour Film all offered to be Event Partners. Then one of our clients, Ian Cox of Avark, pitched it to one of their clients, Katie Harries of Coinbase and we had a generous, fantastic to work with Headline Sponsor and a cracking brief! Web3 and Blockchain demystified! Ian Lenehan introduced us to University Academy 92 (UA92), what a fantastic venue, absolutely perfect for our needs and so well organised that the wonderful Creative Resourcers were not broken this year. We had an additional slot, Lisa Jones of Couch and a Two+Two stalwart, gave a great talk on how the students can get the best out of their attendance post-event. If you were there and you're reading this, do the things she said! Two+Two in numbers: Once we reached 46 industry mentor volunteers from 33 agencies, we had to very apologetically say we couldn't accommodate more and we capped student numbers at 170, from 16 northern Universities. We were joined by 19 talent managers and networkers. We had 5 streams each with 7 teams of students, 35 teams competing to win, and have a great experience along the way. 5 judges, chaired by Tom Richards, Global CCO of 21GRAMS and Cannes Lions Jurist; Imogen Tazzyman, ECD McCann Manchester, Paul Dunleavy, CD APS Group, George Goldhagen & Peter Stilwell from Coinbase. We had not 1 but 2 videographers @james harper from Sound & Colour Films and Patrick Mcdermott from Mojo M3dia, and 1 photographer Simon Rhodes from APS Group. And we had 7 finalists; 5 stream winners and 2 wild cards. There can of course only be 1 winner and this year it was the Red Snakes, but all 7 teams win a prize each; mentorships, internships, agency visits, all kindly donated. To every person and organisation who helped, came along and supported in some way, thank you so very much. Hope you enjoy the video highlights from Sound & Colour Films, a glimpse of a wonderful day. See you in 2025! https://lnkd.in/gfjMRzSn
