Before graduating in Graphic Design and Advertising from Bucks in 2008 we started working together during our second year of college. And after two fairly successful placements, one at Woo, Part of the Engine group and the other at archibald ingall stretton…, we got our first job offer in quite an unusual manner.
It came in the form of a Secret Santa present after a not-so-sober Steve Stretton challenged us to crack a rather tricky brief while on placement with the agency over Christmas.
So, with our university course over and degree in pocket, we got stuck right in working on an outdoor and radio campaign for lowcostholidays.com as well as a number of successful digital and direct pieces of work for Logitech, WRAP, O2 and EDF Energy to name but a few.
During that summer we also manged to get a couple of awards under our belts after being shortlisted at The D&AD 2008 Student Awards, as well as being runners up for Gary Sharpen’s Shelf Award. You can see more about us and our work at lailaandpaul.carbonmade.com
