Fast Forward 2008
NOW BOOKING - 50% of places already taken
Launched by Jeremy Bullmore in 1999, Fast Forward gives people with 2-5 years’ industry experience a unique opportunity to learn about integration from the very best. The course has been over-subscribed almost every year – and with the Speakers already confirmed for 2008, we don’t think it will take long to sell out again.
This year’s course has been extended to seven evening sessions over an eight week period, so as to fully incorporate all sectors of the industry. The 90 delegates will come from all of these sectors and be split into cross-discipline teams, working together on a challenging brief, to be set by a senior client from a high-profile brand.
Each session will take place at a different venue – hosted by high-profile, centrally based communications companies. The course structure is as follows:
Session 1: Wednesday17th September 6.00pm
Introduction by Stephen Woodford (F/Forward Chairman & CEO DDB UK)
Anita Robinson, Brand Director for Smirnoff (Diageo) will set the brief
Session 2: Wednesday 24th September 6.00pm
