The Pelicans – an annual competition/showcase of the hardwork the international account teams at Omnicom Media Group EMEA have done throughout the year. Being part of the IT team (my -9-5) I was lucky enough to head over a day before with the core organistion team to be on support for any IT issues. The 500+ attendees arrived for the main event the following morning. Naturally I had my camera in hand so I quietly captured the behind the scenes. The event was followed by a grand dinner (where my camera stayed at the hotel) at the National Maritime Museum before finishing off with an after party in central Amsterdam. Not a bad way to celebrate the year at all!
