April 3rd - Independent Agency Black Book
There’s a lot of world class work created by small agencies that get missed by our industry. I’m going to shine a light on agencies that are flying under the radar with the Independent Agency Black Book.
Julian Cole cut his teeth at Naked Communications learning the craft of comms planning. He created a knack for taking great ideas and making them come to life in innovative ways. He went on to lead the Comms Planning teams at BBDO and BBH in New York, both agencies often overlooked as ‘just a TV agency’.
His team helped create award-winning work for PlayStation, Bacardi, Footlocker, Mountain Dew, GE, Snickers, M&Ms, Lowes, Interscope Records, Boost Mobile, Bombay Sapphire, and the Sandy Hook Foundation. This resulted in the agencies winning the Webby Agency of the Year for three of the last seven years, also picking up more Integrated Cannes Lions than Film Lions during this period.
