We’re quite a team. Get us round a table – ideally a pub table – and set us off. Stories, many stories. Stories about great shoots, legendary Cannes moments, good bosses, bad bosses and many, many Big Ideas. The younglings used to raise their manicured eyebrows when they walked past us reminiscing but we have our own department now. The Agency has realised the value of Experience, how important our years are for the New Gen. So we all sit around here training the Agency’s “talent”. Passing on. Playing forward. Each of us with our own screen, our own Agent to mentor.
