Fail Better Talks

A London-based talk series that asks ballsy creatives to present their worst ever work and, more importantly, what they've learned from it.

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett

[Agency Quotes @AgencyQuotes]

"Nothing will ever be more embarrassing than the time I called that client 'Mum' in a pitch. What made it worse is that we won it, and she called me her 'darling daughter' for the whole project."

Pitch: Sad Men. A 2021 spin off of Mad Men but it’s all creatives getting ideas killed, long ugly powerpoint decks, and Microsoft Teams notifications.

“Rejection is part of the process. (...) You shouldn’t see it as a failure if someone doesn’t like you, for whatever reason. It’s like dating – you just know what’s right for you, and they know what’s right for them”
