Day 2 of Training and it is pitch practice day.  Having been pitching and won many commissions with the BBC,  this is an easy day for me and I wonder what I’ll get out of it.  I also sadistically love public speaking so no sweat there too, but Marcus – the head of all things technological at Savvy is sweating gently at my side.  So the camera comes out and there’s a big screen view of our attempts – and even I feel nervous, but it is excellent training from a journalistic  bent and we all learn loads and improve hugely.

The great surprise to us at Savvy – was that,  I, having always pitched solo and always taken on that public facing role, Marcus and I did really well when asked to pitch as a team – adopting different roles (we are very different) and personas to illustrate the pitch “Sell me a favourite game” (Monopoly)  and we realise that this might be a way forward…… for the company.  If we don’t get through the next stage – then this made 3 days away from the offices absolutely worth it!! When else would we get this kind of an opportunity.  Surprising place to learn something that will change our working practices as a company way beyond any future work with Sony Playstation….  And for once, the alien company in this exciting mix of gaming world inhabitants starts to feel very much at home… Bring it on
