It’s not easy breaking into London’s ad industry. So Shannon Cripps and Bethany Wood, recent graduates from the University of Lincoln, approached their search for a placement like they would an advertising brief.
Agency creative chiefs are busy, but everyone has to get to work somehow. Cripps and Wood came up with the idea to offer execs a free lift to work in a taxi in exchange for a book crit.
