Ted's Talk - WSA
Event Information
Description
The Students’ Union at the University of Southampton has recently appointed Holdens’ agency to lead our upcoming brand review. As part of this, you are being invited to complete a consultation survey from 25th January to understand what the ‘SUSU’ brand means to you - this research will then inform the wider brand review.
To launch the consultation, the Students’ Union is holding a "Ted's Talk", a Branding Day during Refreshers’ week where Holdens’ agency specialists Ted and Peter Holden will be discussing how they began their careers in the Creative Industries, going on to develop one of Manchester’s leading creative agencies.
Ted Holden is the Managing Director of Holdens' Agency. Creative Director of the agency, Peter Holden is also lecturer in Creative Thinking and Design and Art Direction on MMU’s postgraduate International Advertising Course.
If you are interested in the Creative Industries, this will be a valuable and informative opportunity to learn from the experiences of a team whose previous clients include Manchester Metropolitan University Students’ Union, Kellogg’s, Manchester United, SWI and The Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
The Branding Day will be taking place at the WSA Cafe on Tuesday 26 January and will also include a short talk from Ben Franklin, the Union’s President, about the brand review and how you can get involved.
Organiser SUSU Creative Industries
Organiser of Ted's Talk - WSA
SUSU's Creative Industries zone exists to enable the creation and appreciation of creative content by students. Overall we represent thousands of students who are interested in producing creative content, many of whom have the talent and drive to pursue careers in the industry. We’d like to ensure that we offer every student an opportunity to receive help and advice to follow their aspirations. In addition to this we also have individual students who demonstrate a high level of skill and determination in their creative pursuits as part of their course at the University of Southampton, including those at our School of Art in Winchester, or through extra-curricular interests. We have been working to provide students with guidance and advice on how to break in to their chosen career path and keep our knowledge relevant by consulting with students and through out strong links with industry professionals.
