Trevor Beattie offers writer job at Chip Shops
Nine Scottish entries have been nominated for awards in the Chip Shop Awards 2005, with one copywriter even scooping a job at the judging.
Chairman of the judges, Trevor Beattie of Beattie McGuinness Bungay, was so impressed with Rick Kiesewetter’s innovative ‘Need A Copywriter?’ Post-it campaign, that he immediately rang him to offer him a job.
The other Scottish shortlisted entries are Elmwood’s Edinburgh Film Festival 2005; WWAV Rapp Collins Edinburgh’s ‘Bullett’ for Alice Kilvert Tampon Alert; Citigate Smarts Edinburgh’s work for Val Freeman, Royal Lyceum Theatre Company and Juice Monkeys; TBWA\Edinburgh’s Jenners ‘Grand Old Lady’; Family’s work for Ann Summers and Ikea and Ian McIlroy’s ‘I’m’.
