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.

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,

All attendees will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE one-year subscription to the Media Audit for the Reno market.

Karen Marvin of The Media Audit will discuss what local companies looking for an edge in local marketing need to know including; how local media habits differ from national habits, where the opportunities for local growth are, and how the Reno market compares to markets such as Las Vegas or Sacramento.

This presentation will take place at a2n2’s new Power Lunch venue, the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa. Networking begins at 11:30, lunch is served at 12.

Developing strong marketing strategies that can woo Reno customers ready to start spending again post-recession is key to the success of any business looking to rebound or grow.

As a special bonus to our members and guests, after the presentation, there will be a drawing for a free one-year subscription to the Media Audit for the Reno market. This subscription is incredibly valuable for any agency or group that buys media and wants to understand the needs and wants of their demographic better. With turnout expected to be under 100, the odds of winning a one-year subscription for this incredible marketing tool are great.

Member Spotlight

Jeff Ross Photography won a Gold Award from Graphis, The International Journal of Visual Communication, in the 2010 Phototgraphy Annual Publication. The winning image was from the series Hope: 26 Inspirations, a group of portraits of workers at High Sierra Industries. High Sierra Industries provides employment opportunities and living arrangements to people with physical and mental challenges. To see more of these images visit www.jeffross.com.

Have you won an award or honor? a2n2 members may submit items for the Member Spotlight feature to info@a2n2.com. Please include all pertinent information and images, along with your contact information.

It’s time to honor the best and the brightest in the Northern Nevada advertising community. Please join us at the Ad People of the Year Awards Ceremony at Harrah’s Reno at 11:30 am on Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Click here to RSVP and learn more about the honorees.

The 2009 Ad People of the Year Honorees

Thomas C. Wilson Award | Brian Crane, creator of Pickles

Ad Person of the Year Award | John Murphy, Reno News & Review

Promotion Person or Group Award | Reno Philharmonic

Community Contribution of the Year Award | The Glenn Group for Resolution-A-Thon

They are faced with the daunting task of raising about $20,000 to send the rest of the winning group. They need your help.

Click the button to donate now.

The a2n2 Foundation and Board have donated. The local chapter of the Public Relations Society of America has donated. Several UNR alumni have helped. The students have held a successful fundraiser and solicited support from friends and family. But they still need help and time is short.

You have probably either participated in this competition through UNR or work with someone who has. They can tell you the intensity of their effort. Nevada’s teams have done well at the Nationals in the past, winning the top prize — best in the nation — in 2003.

The Orlando competition will provide a national stage for our community, our University and our advertising, marketing and public relations industries here.

The students expect to pay their own incidental expenses including meals and will sleep four-to-a-room to reduce costs. Even these costs present something of a hardship to some of our team members. Won’t you please help? Your donation will flow through the a2n2 Foundation and as such is most probably tax deductible.

Thank you for your help!
