Meet the Speaker: Alex Porter-Smith

Welcome to 2020 pals.

Our first CreativeMornings gathering of the year and new decade comes at a time when our creative oars may be feeling a little meh. With Brexit set for the last Friday of January we want to bring a little creative cheer to you all.

Which is why we’ve planned a bumper ‘Roots’ event with the awesome Alex Porter-Smith.

Alex is a co-founder and head of production at High Tide, which is a production co specialising in high end video content for online campaign creation and for events. Some of their clients include Tesco, Crabbie’s Ginger Beer and GDFS. Alex was also a member of the CreativeMornings Edinburgh team from 2017-2019 so she’s super chuffed to be joining us in Glasgow to kick-start her year.  

1. Do you have a creative New Year’s resolution?

To try and manage my time better - which I’m quickly realising needs a huge amount of work in itself! 

2. We wanna know a little bit about what you creative day looks like. What does a typical day as a founder look like for you?

Every day is different but an ideal day would be meeting new and existing clients and partners, coming up with ideas for projects, and sitting in on edits for completed shoots. 

3. Tunnocks Tea Cakes or Caramel Wafers?

Definitely Tunnocks Tea Cakes! Take the chocolate off the outside

4. If you could describe Glasgow in one word what would it be?

Friendly!

We like.

See you all tomorrow and if you can’t make it don’t worry as we’ll have a special treat for you in two weeks time.
