- got some pieces to use in the show, lent out for 4 days
- learnt how to discuss terms professionally and got an incite into paper work etc
- learnt how to negotiate in stressful situations and use subtle sales techniques to get my way - especially as they tried to back out ONE WEEK before the show and we needed about 30 of their pieces for one scene.

M&S Archive
- meeting with the manager and archive manager to go over the archive pieces at their H.Q

Reflection:

I enjoy meeting new creatives and discussing things in a business sense, which I've learnt from doing all this I'm quite good at. In the future I need to work on trying to get more from these people, potentially extending connection and trying to get to know more people within the organisation.

Creating catered presentations was time consuming to an extent, but well worth it

Learnt how to keep calm and integrate sales with design pitching
