⛰️ Brighter Basecamp, Cohort 3! ✨ Last week, we welcomed 22 brilliant young media planners and buyers to Global HQ for two days of learning, insight, and inspiration. From behind-the-scenes tours of our iconic Leicester Square radio and podcast studios, to a live panel with Capital Evenings' Sonny Jay and Capital Dance Breakfast's Charlie Powell - our 'Basecampers' got stuck into workshops, networking, and responded to a real client brief 💡💬🎧 Here’s to growing the next generation of media leaders! 🧗 #Global | #GlobalAcademy | #BrighterBasecamp | #MediaCareers | #EarlyCareers

📍“The presence is the power” said Anto Chioccarelli, our Creative Director of Outdoor, at the UK Creative Festival in Margate, Kent. Though Anto said this in the context of Outdoor, we think it’s a fitting way to describe our time at the two-day festival, of which we are a partner. 🖼️ Kicking the creativity off, we headed to the Turner Contemporary which was the perfect setting for our second ever Creative Town Hall. Our ‘Get Savvy’ session with Nils Leonard, Laura Jordan Bambach, and Graham Fink explored how creatives can use wit and craft to better-sell their work, themselves, and the broader value of creativity. As well as the panel, our speakers were interviewed by Global Academy students for a podcast currently in development. More on this soon! 🎡 Dreamland Margate was the destination for day two, with leads from Talent Acquisition, Commercial Marketing and Global Academy SLT setting up stall in the infamous Rollerdisco to meet with the future stars of creative industries. The careers fair was filled with networking opportunities and CV workshops, while 24 Global Academy students supported the event to gain work experience. We ended the festival with the aforementioned Anto Chioccarelli speaking on the 'The Anatomy of a Big Idea' panel alongside Shivani Arora, Pete Ioulianou and Sam Berry, chaired by Leah Brown FRSA. Our takeaway from this talk on outdoor? "If it sings on a poster, it'll soar anywhere." #Global | #UKCreativeFestival | #GlobalAcademy | #Creativity | #EarlyCareers | #Careers

Standing *slightly* higher than a Smurf's standard three apples tall, our wrapped Routemaster buses have been chauffeuring Papa Smurf, Smurfette and friends around the streets of London. In fact, buses were rolled out just as the blue carpet was rolled out over in Brussels, with stars like Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Dan Levy, and James Corden attending the World Premiere. Bus advertising in the capital reaches over  8.6m people across a typical two-week period*, so use creativity to build momentum for your campaign as Paramount Pictures ahead of their 'Smurfs' cinema release on July 18th. * Source: Route. #Global | #TfL | #OOH | #Film | #Movie | #Transport | #Creativity

It's the most talked about outdoor campaign that lets the creative do the talking. Playfully poking fun at design mishaps in the workplace, Canva teamed up with Stink Studios to share the solutions its popular platform offers, such as a fixed font, colour palette, and logo in its Brand Kit. What better canvas to grow awareness - not the logo - than our Waterloo takeover with Network Rail. #Global | #OOH | #outofhome | #Canva | #Creativity
