It was a good day. Today I turned 27 and right in the morning we received an email that our team (Nathan, Robbin & me) won the Creative Contest set by Tribal DDB Paris for the DDB Digital Days. Not only did three other teams from Hyper Island made the shortlist (making HI the most shortlisted school, thus winning an additional school price) but our concept seemed the juries favourite that got us to the next step: client presentation. They've booked us on a plane (leaving in 7 hours) to Paris so we can present our concept in front of the Tribal DDB team and the global brand manager of Lipton Ice Tea. Bags are packed and fingers are crossed.

Happy Birthday!
Good stuff Wal. If they offered you a job would you leave the course?
Well done - excellent news!
HI is certainly seeming to pay off for you - best of luck with the presentation and happy birthday.
It's going to be a good year for you I reckon!
Well done dude. Very exciting!!
this hyper island is turning out to be a good move for you after all. It's great how its not just another course but works like a real agency - making you much more employable.
Great stuff Wal. Go nail it!
I might add that this is all team based stuff and whilst Wal is successful at the moment he may need to prove his talent as an individual?
Am I right Wal to say this course is for art directors only?
I guess it could also depend where you want to work once you've completed the course.
So, how did the presentation go?
Well done. Great that they're going to make it.
