Will Lowe & Victor Monclus: Creative Advertising graduates
MA Creative Advertising
A year at Falmouth set Will and Victor up with a portfolio good enough to start taking around London's best agencies on the long slog in search of a placement. The craft skills they learnt at Falmouth stood them in good stead when they eventually landed one. Contacts made during London week gave them an ‘in’ and a reason for people to let the duo show them their book – which in turn led to more names. A year of working hard and solidly at Falmouth gave this creative partnership an idea of the kind of graft that's required when starting out.
"You might not walk straight out of Cornwall and into a job in London. But the course certainly gives you all the wherewithal to get there in the end. It took us a year of showing our book around London (after teaming up post-Falmouth) to get a placement at DDB London. Within four months we were hired. Since then, we’ve worked on most accounts at the agency, including the Financial Times, Volkswagen and Harvey Nichols."
They were awarded the Gold Award for Best Campaign at the Campaign Poster Awards 2007 for their work on the FT.
