Lucky to still have 100% attendance. But after the full week of meetings the students deserved a break. One day before the commencement of the Spikes conference series.

One of the most interesting presentations I have sat through in my 14 years while working actually in the advertising industry. Thank you Chris and already changed phones to a Nokia N9….

Every great journey must start with a single step (in the wrong direction).

My bad, I’m sorry about any headaches caused.

We have been trying to use this Study Tour as a fine tuning exercise for the students. I have tried to craft the student’s potential roles in the advertising field, as well as trying get them to reach answers to the many questions that a potential advertising professional asks oneself!
The students all rising to the occasion. Proud of all my students.

This tour has been far above and beyond what I expected of it. The group as a whole have been great to get along and work with, be it out on the town or in the office/workshops that we have taken part in. After you get over the initial “heat wave” getting around and the “big freeze” of the indoor Air Con environment, you really begin to appreaciate Singapore as an amazing cultural and business/networking experience. And that isn’t even including the great food, beverages and entertainment we’ve taken in…and what’s to come. Love it.

The tour thus far has being amazing. The students have made a big impact on each of the industry visits. All have commented “what a great bunch of students”.
Lowe & Partners liked the students so much that they have invited us all to their industry networking reception on Monday night. Well done everyone. Enjoy the journey to your advertising career.

Yes I was a little angry at Peter and Warwick, wasn’t the best way to start with British Airways having to make a general announcement across the whole of Sydney International Airport Terminal – “could Mr Smith and Mr Spratt please go to gate 31 for your immediate departure”.
The cabin crew were about to close the doors then we would of been down to 12 students.
Fortunately this demonstrated that rules needed to be followed, however the flight to Singapore commenced the amazing journey of the 2011 Advertising Singapore Study Tour successfully.
