Shiny Announces Panelists for ‘How To Win The Pitch’ at We Are Social

Shiny and We Are Social have announced the panelists for the 'How To Win The Pitch' talk & networking event, which takes place on Tuesday 12th December at We Are Social’s offices in the Alphabeta Building on Finsbury Square.  

In this exciting talk, we hear from the key decision makers who award jobs to directors. What are clients looking for? We hear from Vodafone and Draftline (in-house for Anheuser Busch).

Saatchi & Saatchi tell us what’s important for agency producers to hear. One of Mother’s creatives shares their interests when deciding which directors they want, and We Are Social share key points in-house producers want to hear.

With extra time for Q&As and audience involvement, this is a hugely useful panel for new directors (and their representatives), who want to understand who they are selling to. 

Caroline Bottomley, managing director of Shiny said, "As always at Shiny events, the focus is on helping new and under-represented directors to learn more and get more comfortable working within advertising production. We give out free tickets to young filmmakers who are at the very fringes of the industry and sell tickets to everyone else! There’ll be excellent opportunities for networking, helped along with free drinks & pizza, all generously supported by We Are Social, LS Productions & King Lear Sound & Music."

Dan Keefe, head of We Are Social Studios added, "We're delighted to be hosting and taking part in the 'How to Pitch' event. The team at Shiny do some really important work when it comes to boosting under-represented talent in the ad industry. We're looking forward to an interesting and inspiring discussion."

Tickets for the event must be purchased by FRIDAY 8th DECEMBER and are available on the Shiny website.
