Banker leave the City and join the creative business

25/01/2012Last week in London, a banker broke free of his corporate chains and escaped the City for a life in the creative industries. He was driving his corner desk, complete with phone and printer, through the financial district, to the legendary steps of 80 Charlotte St. The stunt, staged by Saatchi & Saatchi, marked the launch of their Summer Scholarship scheme for 2012, delivering the message that the creative industries are still recruiting new talent in a time when many other sectors are not. They created a medium of its own. Creating the media is one of categories in PIAF Awards. And be prepared, among the judges is Paul Silburn from Saatchi&Saatchi London.
