How did you get started in the industry?
Seems a long time ago now... Back in the good old 80's I applied for a job at CDP, which was the most creative agency in the world at the time, famous for many great campaigns. Anyway I turned up with my writing partner Steve Limbrick. They told us we had a good book, but they also had a policy of not taking on younger/junior teams.
They also told us that they were currently looking, but for someone much more senior and wished us the best of luck. We returned the next day dressed up as old men! I had dyed my hair white overnight with a bottle of bleach and had make-up with wrinkles and bags under our eyes. We had gold watches and a walking stick each. We walked in and said we wanted that job for a senior team - they hired us.
