BREAKFAST CLUB: THE PERFECT PITCH

Creating just the right content for a new business pitch is a delicate business and knowing how to entice without giving it all away can be an art in and of itself. Join Simon Lince, Chief Creative Officer of Sterling Brands, while he leads a discussion on crafting the perfect pitch that wins clients and opens doors. Topics to explore include creating the right content, how much is too much, structure of the presentation, customization for different clients, floods, feces, phony accents and turning it around when things go horribly wrong!
