Our first event in the Creativepool Talks series, Speakers corner was a fantastic evening of knowledgeable rants from some top minds in the creative industry.

Set against the background of Hyde Park, and with a soap box at their disposal the speakers, got to making their point and prepared for the crowd to heckle.

Scroll down to take a look through some of the pictures we took on the night!


Phil Dearson from The Marketing Store on the soap box, telling us why he thinks Advertising is a Tax.


Stuart Edwards from By The Scruff, rashly argues for agencies to double their prices and work with those willing to pay for quality!


Faces in the crowd, avidly expressing their intrigue and interest in the speakers' rants!


Alan Long of Sane and Able tells the crowd why he is so proud to be a digital designer, and why everyone else should be too!




Patrick Collister talks about creative people. What makes a person creative, why the world needs creative people more than ever, and what makes them so weird and different!


Nick Bennett from Steel London had a big ol' rant about why pitching is broken, and tries to start up a revolution!


Phil tries to hush the crowds before Patrick begins.
