I was the Executive Producer (Events) for the IPA Festival of British Advertising, sponsored by Google and Channel 4. The first festival of its kind, the four day event involved an exhibition as well as key events; from Adam Buxton presenting a special one off ad-land version of his famous ‘Bug,’ show, to a comedy panel show called ‘Pop Goes The Ad Break,’ hosted by Eamonn Holmes with Vanessa Feltz and Bob Mills on the teams.
I produced six events in total across three separate venues around central London, this included sourcing and booking all talent, managing the production of the events and the creative direction on the day of. The most popular event was a sold-out talk about the role of women in advertising which was chaired by the TV Presenter Fiona Bruce and featured Faye Weldon and Vicki Maguire.
