Nabs has opened its annual Fast Forward programme to help junior and mid-level talent improve their pitching skills.
Attendees will compete in teams to a real-life brief over six weeks with mentors and speakers on hand to support and educate about the process.
Now in its 23rd year, this course will have an added emphasis on mental wellness awareness and support to help “embed mental wellness” across the industry.
Julian Douglas, international CEO and vice-chairman at VCCP, and former IPA president, will be a speaker. Douglas said: “Mental wellness has to be at the heart of the pitching process. That’s why I’m joining Nabs for Fast Forward. Combining Nabs’ expertise with the commitments of the Pitch Positive Pledge will help to educate delegates on how best to support their mental wellness, and that of their colleagues, during all of the pitches they’ll encounter during their careers.”
