One month at
A momentous month in history…
May 2015
I move back to Oxford and start a
new job…
With ONE, the most creative agency in
the universe
This is the story of my first 30-days*
*-ish
Friday 11th May…My last day at City University
London is pretty awesome
7-days later, it’s time to step into a strange
new worldMy chicken’s
stopped
working!
Try barking at it
The first week is a bit of a BLUR
There’s a lot to take in…
And that’s without trying to remember who drinks what…
BUT the commute to work rocks!!
The view from my desk is ‘cutting edge’ and…
Well… The Biscuit Cupboard of Dreams™
Eamonn (biz dev guru)
is on holiday
CENSORED
Hey BMC,
can you deal
with this?
So Jemma says:
PROPOSALS LATER…
20CUPS OF COFFEE,
15BISCUITS
&3
BOOM! Bag my first job
Eamonn returns hoping that
everyone has forgotten about
his birthday
HE KEEPS CALM
AND
CARRIES ON REGARDLESS
I decide it’s time to get on the road and
go ‘social’
“Value Proposition
Design for
Dummies”
“How to Design a Kick-Ass Pitch”
“Marketing Tips for
Kickstarter”
Twitter goes into overdrive!!!

I use the wrong printer and burn through the monthly print budget in one morning
I pack my bags and disappear to
St Albans to run a client workshop
I also use the opportunity to do
some high-level brand strategy work for
ONE…
ONE holds a boat trip to celebrate my
return*
*At least that’s what they tell me
“Yarrrgh!”
30 DAYS LATER
and my journey to the creative side is complete
What happens next is up to you
Will sell stories for food
