A Massive Big Up from Mat

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

We got this massive big up from Advocate Artist Mat Edwards so we thought we would share it with you!

Hi Ed

Definitely interested!

You Advocate lot just get better and better, thanks for taking me on. Its soooo nice to be actually drawing and not having to chase and sort clients all the time (though I do have some regular malingerers around) and you are all worth every penny. I have had years and years of sorting the business side of freelancing just for myself, never mind a whole bunch of artists, so hats off to you all.

Cheers MAT

(Right, thats a pint for me and all the best jobs going! (you can leave this bit off the memo Ed)

Book Expo

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Once again Book Expo America, the largest annual book trade fair in the United States took place at the Javits Center in New York City, with great success! Advocate’s exposure is growing from Strength to Strength with a noticeable increase in face to face appointments made prior to the show, as well as some quality pop on appointments by new and exciting potential clients.

Our stand is certainly not something that can be missed with its Bright red cafe style appearance, and of course my welcoming smile! And our captivating portfolios of artists keeping them glued to their seats. We entertained such clients as Disney, Nickelodeon, Capstone, Tigertales, Sterling, Houghton Mifflin, Harper Collins, Viz and National Geographic to name but a few of the significant book publishers that came along from the United States, and many from abroad too.

Well done Team Advocate, I would like to thank all of the artists for producing such captivating artwork its a delight to show, And a  thank you to the advocate team in the office who helped with the preparations! It was a great success and I look forward to the projects that come off the back of Book Expo and the new Relationships I have formed.
