John Doe

An evening of food, music & storytelling at Bantaba Afro Caribbean Restaurant 🤎 Last week we arranged for the John Doe Glasgow team to dine and celebrate Black History Month at Bantaba where we learned all about the family-owned restaurant, the historical origins of the food prepared and how to play traditional instruments from talented musicians 🙌🏾 The restaurant is owned by Fatou (pictured) who prepared a wonderful spread for us and provided us with the most generous hospitality. If you're in Glasgow city, please visit Banataba and say I sent you! 🔗 link to restaurant and menu in the comments below

Who says Thursdays can’t be the new Friday? Especially when you’re living by the Greasy Fingers Wines rules!🍷✨ Greasy Fingers is all about showing audiences that drinking wine doesn't need to be stuffy, it should be however you fancy, especially if that means pairing it with your favourite greasy food We worked with 3 fantastic creators for the Greasy Fingers 'Greasy Thursday' campaign. @hollymorrisss, @cripandip and @justin_the_dustbin on Instagram all brought their greasy Thursday moments to life in their own unique styles, using comedy, unboxings, fakeaway recipes and a real shared love for all things food and wine.

Hello Everyone! I recently graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Architecture from The Glasgow School of Art and I’m currently looking for employment within the creative industry. In the last five years of studying Architecture, I’ve also been privileged enough to have worked with The Union through the Unlocked internship programme hosted by John Doe & Mercy Abel and Maŕa Peralta where I gained production and social media experience. The portfolio attached involves quite an array of projects. I’m a multifaceted individual, and I would love to be able to work in an environment that could further develop my potential. I have a really strong eye for design, a fast learner and a highly sociable person! I’d be really keen in positions such as: Social media marketing Set design assistant Part 1 Architectural technologist Exhibition curator assistant I’m currently based in Edinburgh, Scotland however I’m flexible to work anywhere in the UK. Feel free to contact me through my email nicolle_santiago@icloud.com for more information and if you’d like to see an expanded version of my work! Thank you, any shares would be appreciated!

Last week, John Doe invited us to celebrate the successful wrap-up of year two of their UNLOCKED Internship programme. We heard first-hand from the interns about their experience in the programme and how we can help make their experience, and our own, the best it can be. It was inspiring to hear from the next generation of marketers. Their energy and positivity was infectious, and we’re excited to see how their careers progress. Whether you’re an agency looking to offer an opportunity to help underrepresented emerging talent get a foot in the door, or you’re an individual looking for your start in the creative industry: talk to John Doe to get involved! Thank you John Doe we look forward to year three! #UNLOCKED #AgencyInterships

What a lovely event! 💕 I'm incredibly proud we were part of an internship programme making such positive changes in Scotland's creative industry! The intern panel showcased just a selection of the incredible talent from this year’s programme, which supported 30 interns from marginalised or low-income backgrounds. Four of these internships turned into full-time roles - including our own Petya Indzhova, who has been a great addition to the Think ALT digital team! 🙌 Thank you Mercy Abel and the Unlocked team at John Doe for making it all happen! 🤗

Had a great time at the #futureleaders event today, focusing on confidence in creativity. Huge thanks to The Marketing Society Scotland and John Doe for running such an inspiring session! 👏🏼
