Our latest event for the website ilovedesign.com, 8×8 (in association with Quark XPress and Design Week) went live about 20 minutes ago… and almost crashed the server. We’ve been working on a low level buzz campaign amongst the creative community which is still yet to reach it’s peak so this is an amazing result for the event, client and our activity.
What 8×8?
8 talented creatives have just 8 minutes each to share with us where they find their ideas, what inspires them and what motivates them to get out of bed in the morning.
Why 8×8?
The format will ensure a high energy event, with new ideas coming at you thick and fast from our stellar line-up of speakers. There’ll also be the chance for a bit of networking and a few beers.
