You Are Here: Symposium Notes THE DOTS, ANTHROPOLOGIE, RICKY RICHARDS & B+A

The Dots
I'm not a member yet and this really did feel like a sales pitch. I almost feel less inclined to join now that I've been marketed at like this but it does look like a useful tool and definitely more relevant than LinkedIn.

  • Coined the term 'No Collar' professionals (instead of blue collar/white collar) for creatives who work project-by-project in a non-linear path through employment.
  • Use the page to let your personality come through in the interview and your work.
  • Curate your page. Striking images, make them remember you.
Anthropologie
I'm not a customer of this store, but I am a big fan of Mister Finch who exhibited in the Leeds store on its opening week. This is what I asked questions about and what I was most interested in learning more about from Nicola. Not so much interested in product/apparel design but definitely in exhibiting and window displays.
  • All about artisan finishing.
  • They are ALWAYS OPEN - if you're a good fit for the brand then they are always open to ideas/collaborations.
  • You can approach them/they do look for talent and will approach (instagram).
  • King's Road exhibition space available to rent.
  • Mister Finch had an exhibition at Kings Road, was approached again when store opened in Leeds as he is LOCAL. Ongoing relationship.
Ricky Richards
Ricky's quick presentation made some valid points about pronto projects. Being relevant, up to date and involved with the world.

B&A
  • When applying/submitting UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COMPANY DOES and WHO THEY ARE. Do your research.
  • Use Dribble/Giphy/Behance. Everything you can! Will these replace Instagram? Stay current.
