London College of Exhibitionists… LCC graduates reveal themselves for final time in June

Posted on May 21, 2013 by lwhitehead

Throughout June graduating London College of Communication (LCC) students reveal their work in three exhibitions around the central theme of London College of Exhibitionists.

[They] Whisper it quietly but LCC graduates are driving the creative industries, modestly defining the landscape of media and design through photography, design, graphics, film, TV, advertising, PR, journalism, publishing and printing.

Usually behind the scenes, the cameras and the campaigns, we don’t like to make a fuss. But this summer we’re inviting you to take a closer look at the next generation of LCC graduates. So that before you check the credits, before you wonder who took the photograph, created those graphics, told that story, you can note the names of these gifted young creatives – because you’re certain to be exposed to their talent in years to come.

PR and Disruption: Embracing and Managing Change | One-day conference

Wednesday 10 July 2013
9am-4.30pm

How does PR respond to and use disruption – hear from academics and practitioners and embrace disruption by attending “face-off” debates and getting your hands dirty with practical sessions.

PR professionals and academics are invited to attend ‘PR and Disruption: Embracing and Managing Change’, a one-day, low-cost conference exploring the knowledge, strategies and skills needed to communicate successfully in contemporary society being held in central London on 10th July 2013.

The conference, curated by PR academics at the London College of Communication, will feature keynote presentations, case studies and a series of debates by leading international practitioners and scholars. In addition, delegates will have the chance to learn key disruptive PR skills through a range of practical workshops, including app development, creating infographics and film-making.

Confirmed speakers include:
•    Oyvind Ihlen – Professor of Media and Communications, University of Oslo and internationally renowned and prize winning academic
•    Nic Newman – Digital strategist and fellow at Oxford University’s Reuter’s Journalism Institute
•    Dom Burch – Head of Social Media, Walmart-UK
•    John Shewell – Founder and MD at Colab and ex-Head of Communications, Brighton and Hove Council
•    Drew Benvie – Founder and MD, Battenhall and ex-CEO, Hotwire
•    Paul Seaman – MD of West PR-Seaman and PR blogger
•    Tom Allan – International Campaigns Manager, ActionAid

Each speaker has been selected according to their expertise in one of following areas of PR and disruption and will explore one of the following areas:
• Disruptive skills for effective PR: what is required by a PR practitioner in a world of business disruption? Should they be creative, be able to write well but think visually, be curious, challenging and radical but supportive, empathic and corporate?

• PR and disruptive media: in a digital media age PR must evolve to deal with multi-media communication across multiple platforms. What does this new ‘media ecosystem’ look like and how can we deal with it?

• Disruptive PR and society: how does PR best support management by helping the senior team to disrupt and rethink organisational conventions in order to survive the rapidly changing societal and cultural landscape

The event will conclude with networking and drinks among delegates and a wider group of London College of Communication PR alumni. A full itinerary for the day can be downloaded here.

Costs have been kept low to help drive engagement with what the organisers believe to be a range of key challenges and opportunities for the future of PR.

Fees: Full-day tickets: £125 (inc VAT). Half-day tickets (morning or afternoon only): £75 (inc VAT)

On Thursday 16 May London College of Communication welcomes the code crusaders from tech social enterprise Freeformers into The Digital Space for our first ever Tech Jam – a digital immersion workshop where you can learn about coding and have your own Facebook app registered by tea time.

If you’re a graduating student this a fantastic opportunity to add another big string to your creative bow as you take your next step in the creative industries. All you need are two core LCC traits – desire and curiosity – and by the end of the day you’ll be ready to remix the web and make new ideas come to life.

you’ll have your own website up and running in 15 minutes
an hour later you’ll have created a social video using YouTube and Facebook plugins.
halfway through the day you’ll be a registered Facebook app developer
by the end of the day you’ll have created your own Facebook app

So if you fancy learning some of the skills that made 19-year-old Nick D’Aloisio a multi-millionaire – he sold his app Summly to Yahoo for a modest $19 Million - sign up for Tech Jam on the Freeformers website right here and make your way to @DigitalSpaceLCC on Thursday.

Freeformers is a social enterprise which focuses on breaking down the barriers to technology and giving young people a way to get involved in the digital economy. They believe diversity is vital in creating a talent pool of people who help businesses innovate or become entrepreneurs themselves. They believe young people are important for businesses because they live and breathe the internet and social platforms.

MAX COLSON // HIDE AND SEEK: the Dubious Nature of Plant Life in High Security Spaces by Adam Walker-Smith

This series of photographs dramatically illuminate what the photographer sees as the ‘suspect’ plants of high security urban spaces (so-called for posing as ‘innocent’ decoration whilst actually being hidden parts of the security apparatus).

Somnambulism investigates Yugoslav collective memory throughout the last three decades, from the death of Tito to the war and its aftermath.
