8.40. Get to work, read emails. Set aside an hour to work on each existing brief. Carefully laid plan ruined as emergency brief thrown down by Head of Traffic. Work for a couple of hours whilst fighting off planners who are “just dropping by to see how it’s going.”
12.00 Summoned by the Creative Director for quick creative review — he likes our work, helps us with a well-placed comment or two. Back to emergency brief, and come up with enough to satisfy the CD before the deadline.
1.30ish. Grab a sandwhich at Pret a Manger for Lunch.
2.00. Account team review, then snatch an hour to work on a brief or three before rushing off to meet planners for another briefing.
5.30. Photographers’ books dropped off with the art buyers so nip up to take a look, get some free food, a beer and grab some cool drop cards to pin up in my office, if I had an office.
Work till 7.00, then try to find someone to have a look at our new portfolio ideas, or wander down to the bar to socialise with the other creative teams.
