Visiting speaker: Danny Brooke-Taylor at GHS Wednesday morning!

This is a reminder that all Media students who are free must attend the Speakers for Schools talk by advertising Creative Director Danny Brooke-Taylor on Wednesday 23 March at 9.25am.

This is a brilliant opportunity to hear from a leading voice in the creative industries. His Speakers for Schools introduction: 

"Danny has been lucky enough to be Creative Director at some great agencies, including TBWA and Mother.

"He’s bagged lots of awards at British Arrows, Cannes, The One Show, Creative Circle and D&AD. His Hovis commercial “Go on lad” was voted “Ad of the Decade” by ITV viewers in 2010."

Make sure you prepare a question to ask Danny in the Q&A that will follow the talk. This may involve the skills required to work in the media industries but also think about the your key media issues and debates this year: How has new/digital media affected the advertising industry? How aware is the advertising industry of gender stereotypes and reflecting changing social attitudes? Is the mass media (as David Gauntlett suggests) responsible for promoting liberal or 'woke' values?

You can find out more about Danny from his agency - Lucky Generals website.

Your Media teachers will be at the talk and taking a register so make sure you are there on time. The details:
