Dan shares some of the photos and thoughts from our Idea Nation night.

thiswolf:

I  thought I’d share some of the pictures from our and Sapient Nitro London’s idea nation night. The night was organised by myself for Hello You Creatives and by James at Sapient Nitro.

I got to know the guys from the London office after I leaked their “Idea Engineer” rap video that got universally panned by the ad industry. When they called me asking to talk, I originally thought this would be about taking the video down. Instead they wanted to talk about creativity and how they could help young creatives. They want to leave the video as it is and move forward. 

So together we came up with the “idea nation” as a place to gather young and new creatives and give back. 


It was a fantastic night with tons of young and new creatives coming in from all around London and the UK. Sadly I wasn’t about to attend being in Paris but I’m proud of the event and got some really positive feedback from it all.
