DESIGNER BREAKFAST THURSDAY 26 MARCH

Banding together for business success

As Michael Peters confirmed at February’s Designer Breakfasts event – the virtual agency
is a hot ticket.

But how do you band together as a group of equals with a shared set of values and
an eye on the big project? How do you organise in a way that is equitable, viable and rewarding?

Join Claudie Plen and Gavin Andrews of specialist change consultancy Edge Thinking for an interactive seminar that asks the must-ask questions of successful collaboration today.

It’s a practical conversation about expectations, values, work styles, joint branding, and consortia
(of the kind that just might catch the eye of the Olympic procurers).

Case study guests include Paul Richards of Be Like Water, a fluid agency of partner professionals united by an idea – creating better work in a better way.

Says Claudie: “Community building isn’t new. But it’s never looked as compelling as it does now.
This session gives you a set of practical steps to take in order to reap the rewards of the partnership model and, crucially, a checklist of pitfalls to avoid.”

Want to be more entrepreneurial in challenging times? Want to embrace opportunity and shed the ‘survivor’ mindset while continuing to love what you do? If so, Designer Breakfasts could be the
best 25 quid you’ll fork out this month.

Claudie Plen and Gavin Andrews are business coaches, facilitators and two of the principals at 
Edge Thinking, a specialist consultancy in helping creative businesses manage change. They 
have many small agency clients and have worked with organisations ranging from McCann 
Erickson’s Momentum Worldwide and the Telegraph Media Group, to Creative & Cultural Skills 
and English Heritage.
