Vic’s Youngbloods warm up with whiskey at the first ‘Smooth Talks’ event held on Mon, Sept 9th

On Monday night a group of young ad folk attended the first Vic Youngbloods ‘Smooth Talks’ event.

The event kicks off a series of similar nights where exclusive audiences are treated to a whisky tasting accompanied by a discussion led by some of our industry’s best minds.

For details on how to get your ticket to the next Smooth Talks event keep in touch with Vic Youngbloods on Facebook here.

Monday night saw Chris Howatson, 28 y/o managing partner of CHE Proximity, distill some fine drops of wisdom to inspire those in account service.

The intimate space allowed everyone to join in the conversation and pick Howatson’s brain about everything from the best way to form a relationship with a client to the importance of collaboration. The talk even bubbled into a debate as the challenge of mobile was brought up.

As the warm buzz of whisky set in the small group continued to thrash about with opinions and ideas for a large part of the night. A fitting conclusion to a lively evening.

In the coming months, the series will be covering planning, digital and entrepreneurial startups.
