QLD Youngbloods’ Night of the Round Tables gambit pays off, next a Gruen Pitch in the works

With sold out tickets QLD Youngbloods has declared the Round Tables an absolute win for all involved. The night finished with great advancements for guests across the board. Industry leaders and newbies mingled at the Round Table tables well into the night.

Says Wayne Smith, copywriter, Ogilvy: “Being able to shed some light on what we do and how to break into the industry is super vital to the health of our creative scene. What’s so great about events like these is that they give you a chance to reconnect with the raw ambition we all once had when starting out. It’s an evening of catching up with old industry friends and curious minds of the new school.”

Says Erin Core, head of research and strategy, Veracity: “I really enjoyed myself immensely. What a privilege to meet so many bright young people! The format was excellent – time went so quickly.”

Says Claire Bass, graduate, Alpha digital: “As a newcomer, it can be overwhelming trying to find your niche within the industry. Roundtable events that allow you to talk to industry professionals who have all achieved great things but have vastly different career journeys makes this daunting task a little easier. I’m always blown away by how generous people are with their time and how much wisdom they can drop on you with just a single sentence. The Youngbloods Roundtable event was the perfect opportunity to not only chat with Brisbane’s finest ad & marketing gurus, but also to meet other young people in the industry.”

A huge win for QLD Youngbloods ahead of their first solo Gruen pitch where they will be going head to head with the WA Youngbloods team.
