September Power Lunch
Cannes Film Festival Winner to Present to Reno’s Creative Community
Roderick Fenske
Roderick Fenske, an award winning filmmaker and creative genius, will be the keynote speaker at the Advertising Association of Northern Nevada’s September Power Lunch. Fenske will present on the importance of taking risks in the creative field, followed by a screening of his award-winning short film Careful Carl.
This presentation will take place Tuesday, September 14th, 2010, at a2n2’s new Power Lunch venue, the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa. Networking begins at 11:30, lunch is served at 12.
Fenske’s style can best be described as performance-based humour mixed with the surreal and absurd. Fenske is a man who has traveled many paths. After growing up in Reno and holding several jobs, Fenske fell into the business of advertising. Fenske took a job in the mailroom of agency giant McCann-Erickson, San Francisco and worked his way up to a copywriting position. After stints at Ketchum and Saatchi & Saatchi, Roderick moved to New York to work at Ogilvy & Mather and JWT. In 2000, Fenske moved to London where he started directing music videos and commercials while working as a creative director at agencies such as HHCL, St. Luke’s and TBWA.
After achieving notoriety with his special brand of humor (and several awards) with commercials for Sony Playstation 2, FCUK and Channel 5 — that Fenske both wrote and directed — he was invited to join the Swedish film collective Acne. Three years later, having directed internationally for the likes of Honda, Alfa-Romeo, Sprint and Coca-Cola, Fenske joined Hungry Man. He has been with Hungry Man since 2007 and has won several international awards including a Eurobest Gold, The British D&AD, and recently a Bronze Lion in the Cannes International Festival 2010. Fenske has also created two short films that have been getting some notoriety on the independent film circuit. Careful Carl, which has been recognized at both the Palm Springs International Film Festival and BAFTA, will be screened at the Power Lunch. His most recent short film is Future Dave and it is currently doing well on the festival circuit.
New venue for Power Lunches
After much feedback from Power Lunch attendees over the last year, we have moved the venue to the Atlantis Casino Resort and Spa. With a fantastic menu, easy parking and an excellent A/V system, we think the Atlantis is the perfect venue to host our luncheons. Come learn from award-winning national and international speakers from the advertising and marketing world in a great new location.

ADvantage: a professional partnership
You’ve had a mentor. Whether it was a formal and established mentor relationship, or just someone you looked up to and learned a boat-load from, we’ve all had one.
Think back to early in your career. How nervous you were on your first day at your first “real” job. Maybe you’ve had that job for a few years now, or maybe you’re a decade into your career.
Three years into my career, I have five or six mentors. I’ll always be a sponge, and I want to learn as much as I can from the professionals around me.
And now I’m a mentor, too
I have partnered with a recent graduate to give her the ADvantage. I want to help her grow, learn and build meaningful relationships in this community. And at the same time, I’m still learning. I learn from her wide-eyed optimism, her creativity and her fresh enthusiasm for all things advertising. And I’m not just saying that to convince you to buy this karma card. Just the other day, helped me realize my ability to be creative in my writing.
Give someone the ADvantage: Become a mentor
We are recruiting industry professionals in all areas of marketing, in all stages of your careers, to serve as mentors for our student members and recent graduates over the next year.
Your mentee will be expected to contact you first and maintain communication, and your commitment to this program will mean:
- Sponsoring two luncheons
Networking is a scary word. To help ease them into the world of building their own relationships, you will need to coordinate two luncheons to which your mentee can accompany you. You will be responsible for their luncheon fee, as well as networking with them, introducing them to your friends and colleagues. - Bi-monthly individual meetings
As a mentor, you will be expected to met with your student or Ad2 partner every other month. This can be a job shadow, mock interviews, resume building, portfolio review, coffee or lunch meetings, or even a phone call.
That’s it!
If you are interested in becoming a mentor in our program, please send an e-mail to president@ad2reno.com with your contact information and job title (so that we can match you up with a student or recent grad with related interests). And please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the program.
Thank you so much,
Rebecca Wikler
