Those two+two wrapped !!

Two+two 2024 held several challenges for us, at least we were able to put it this year, but once again the generosity of the industry and many people and companies gathered together means we can make it happen.

First, the great thank you is to McCann Manchester, APS Group, Brandon Consultant, Havas Lynx, Suara and Color Film and Avark, to become an event partner and provide funds and services to help us complete it. Then Ian Cox in Avark introduced us to the Coinbase that we liked to welcome on the ship as the main sponsor.

Coinbase, as the main sponsor, arranges the brief this year, in the format that is tried and tested in two+two and I am sure we will post a lot of updates from 5 finalist teams, because they have many things to look forward to! For those who are not accustomed to the format: Students are grouped into color flow, with each team taking the name of the Chinese zodiac. This year Red Snakes, led by Abi Stones from Forepoint and Ciaran Watkins from VML won gold and was invited to the Coinbase Office in London for a deep full day workshop with a British company marketing team, international brand teams, and international design instructions. As part of this experience, Coinbase will work with them to design a marketing campaign that will be displayed in all London Coinbase Offices.

The green tiger takes silver. Their leaders Mark Harrington from Poke and Shazi Parast from Cuttsy and Cuttsy helped them win internships with Brandon Consultants.

We have two teams sharing third places – Yellow goats led by Ian Cox from Avark and Amira Barwany from Havas Lynx, they won special praise from Coinbase and will also win a trip to the Coinbase Office in London, to work with the team. Also in third place, Blue Tigers, whose leaders are Joe Gosling and Molly Holmes, who have won an internship with Avark. Done well for both of them.

Of the three remaining finalist teams, pink roosters will spend 2 days with a further sofa developing briefs, the red dragon has won the guidance of Abi Stones in Forepoint and Pink Horses has won the guidance of the APS Group.

Congratulations to all of you!

As usual, thank you for all our leaders, mentors & judges, universities that encourage and bring their students, coinbases, event partners and creative resources that make everything possible. Following a big list because everyone needs this great person to do it.

The industry gathered together to help and encourage the next generation.
