Mentored. Mingled and ready for more. Another successful Suit & Strat night done and dusted
Youngbloods VIC recently hosted another successful Speed Mentoring evening with partners Town Square, iPopulate, Squealing Pig & the Advertising Council of Australia.
The 2023 Speed Mentoring edition saw a great group of strategists and suits rub shoulders with the industry’s best. Wise words were shared throughout the evening in a speed dating-style format that encouraged fast-paced industry networking. Commentary on the night was extremely positive, with many a business card shared and maybe an interview or two teed up.
Says Belinda Lodge, founder, iPopulate: “With the divide between generations widening by the day, I couldn’t think of a better way to blow an evening than bringing the old guard and the new guard together over a drink. A huge thank you to every single mentor who braved a freezing Melbourne evening to celebrate and guide the young humans coming up. Every year I am in awe of your generosity.”
Says Thomas Penn, general manager, CHEP Network and mentor: “The Youngbloods Speed Mentoring event is not to be missed. It is a rare opportunity for attendees to not only meet industry leaders but also explore different career opportunities from a variety of viewpoints. There is always such an exciting buzz in the room.”
“The speed mentoring night is such a comfortable environment where inexperience doesn’t matter and curiosity prevails.” – Mentee
Youngbloods VIC would like to send a big thank you to the industry partners on the night who made the event possible and to all the mentors who donated their time to educate the next generation of advertising talent.
