TONY I GOT IN!

However the journey is not over, it is simply the beginning.

I may of achieved my first major goal of getting into Tony's team (The Watford Course), but its just the start of a story.

I have plenty of more goals I want to achieve in my lifetime, and I am way on track with successfully getting onto my dream course.

So with no further to do the sequel to my successful blog 'Tony I want in !'. *Drum roll*

Tony I got in!

Simple and true, a title many of my friends have suggested for my new blog.

So if you want to follow my new blog of life on Tony's course, developing as a creative and trying to get into the top advertising agencies in the big bad city known as London, please follow the link.


Thanks for reading.

Cheers!

P.S. Follow my new professional google account 'creativebrummie@gmail.com', it will become my main hub for most of my creative activity.

Job Done.

A lot of things have happened in the past two months, too much of a long story to write in a blog entry.

Anyhow a long story short, I have finally achieved my dream and have been accepted into Tony's team (The Watford Course).

This blog has achieved its purpose and has gained the attention of Tony himself in the past year, following my work in progress and energy as a creative, which helped me make a strong case at the interview, eventually building up to getting me a place!

So I think if you want to know how to conduct yourself in a way to attract Tony, and make him think your right for the course, show the same degree of energy as a creative like I demonstrated on this blog, consistently posting everyday of the ideas (executions) that have came out of my head.

Concerning the interview, it was intense, don't expect a easy ride, it felt like the movie Whiplash, your on the edge, well I was!

My portfolio was destroyed by Tony in the critic, it lacked in-depth thinking, there was not range of products to stretch me, everything was the same etc.

He is hard to impress, so don't expect compliments, like he said I think it was not to accept a pat on the back in the industry, work harder instead!

Tony wants to change advertising for the better and he is not impressed with todays take on the industry, so his course supplies the students set on this mission, and that makes me sooo much more anxious to get started!

I had to look at the email 1000 times when Tony offered me a place the following day, I even pinched myself to see if I was dreaming.

The official letter had to arrive to be completely sure, and when it did come... I DID IT!!!!

I am in, finally, and this blog is a tribute to that effort, that ambition which I succeeded in.

Therefore I hope this blog serves as a guide to those hungry as I in getting into 'The Oxbridge of Advertising'.

If you want to ask me any questions on how to get onto the course, preparing yourself, even advertising stuff, I will be happy to help!

Contact me through my email 'creativebrummie@gmail.com'.

If I do not reply straight away, most likely that I am very busy, but I will try and get back to you when I can.

Also my creative test is up on the blog, so if you want any pointers on doing the whole course application thing, please use it as reference.

Thank you for reading and generally following my blog!

And all the best on your goals in life!

Cheers!
