September 2009: Beijing Creative Conference
This month our Creative Director, Bobby Burrage, was invited to address delegates from Beijing’s Creative Industries.
PricewaterhouseCoopers hosted a conference for Beijing’s creative industries recently and invited Shaping Norfolk’s Future (SNF) to make a presentation.
The conference was held in PWC’s HQ in Embankment, London. Around 30 Chinese delegates, all from Beijing’s creative industries, including ministers and key representatives, visited the UK as part of a month-long schedule of tours, events and seminars arranged by PWC.
SNF selected three companies from Norfolk’s creative industries to join them and successfully represent the county of Norfolk and its rich creative offering. The Click Design Consultants, Soup Digital and Fool Proof were all invited to make presentations on how they fit in to the creative industries and what their companies have to offer.
Our Creative Director, Bobby Burrage, addressed the delegates with a presentation of brand communication case studies and concluded by showing The Click’s showreel which certainly overcame any potential translation issues. The showreel was met with a spontaneous round of applause!
Proceedings were kicked off by SNF’s Chief Executive, Chris Starkie, who introduced the county of Norfolk and its rich creative offering, before handing over to the three chosen companies.
Translators helped field an abundance of questions and enquiries from the audience. PWC have put in place procedures for exchange of information and will be facilitating future new business opportunities for all parties.
