A Workation in NYC #1

So I'm currently visiting in New York City on a 2 week work experience hosted by Wunderman New York! So far, so amazing. New York really feels like the centre of the world, and its a real experience to be immersed in the daily experience of this amazing city.

Here are some quick snaps:




An interesting poster I discovered upon entering the Wunderman New York Office, and something that I think ties up with the role of the strategist in a modern agency. One needs to be gutsy, brave and speak truth in a way that makes sense for clients.



My desk in New York. Was really cool to see that they had gone to the effort of printing my name out, and had left me a couple of cool gifts, which I will tell you about below....












I got a Wunderman water bottle, a purple ink pen, branded USB stick and Sunscreen with a purple bike lock! Very cool - really chuffed at the effort the guys went to in order to make me feel welcome!










The View from my desk. P-I-M-P-I-N-G.













A Nokia Billboard in Chelsea, which I spotted on my way to a meeting at Google's Office at the Chelsea Market. Cool to see Nokia trying to put its name out there, but interesting to discover how small a player they are in the US market.








A cool picture of PSY and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt. Can you spot Stephen Colbert as Captain America?








Google New York has a slide! This is officially the best thing ever. They also have razors (scooters) that people use to get across the office space. Really a super cool office!
