The night will also feature a special competition where you’ll have the chance to pitch your answer to a brief in front of the whole agency. The best pitch will go on to a one-to-one pitch with the creative directors.

But wait, this will all be thirsty work - so we’ll be providing beers to help quench that thirst. We best make sure you don’t go hungry too so we’ll make sure there is plenty of Pizza to go around too.

So you’re probably wondering what you have to do to get to come along? Well to make it fair we’re running a competition - All you have to do is invent the new new new media. We’ve had posters, billboards, interactive displays but what’s next? Send us you’re ideas for a new medium.

We want to hear it all. The best selection will get an invite to come and show the rest of their portfolio on the night.
