Best of luck to Dejan, and best of luck to Bec! Both lovely peeps.
On to bigger and better things. Go Bec!
Hope it’s the right move, you are 2 of he best tallants and people in the business!
It would seem that all good things come to an end. All the best Bec and I look forward to seeing you ‘make shit happen’ somewhere else.
All the best Bec, I’m sure that whatever you decide(d) to do will be for the best. Just hope that it isn’t overseas.
another good reason not to name an agency after yourselves.
some talented people – good luck to all.
Good luck, hope all goes well. It’s a pity because I really liked the work you guys were doing. MTV stuff was great. And Bec, if possible, can you give me a job? Or a date? or both?
very talented, very nice and very smart! Would love to see you back in NZ 🙂
Sad to see Bec and Dejan not in a team anymore. Well suited. But the show must go on. Now it’s just a matter of where? My money is on the UK.
1:49, mine is on the States. So forget the job Bec (can’t get a bloody green card), but not the date. Seriously, I’m available.
I’m going to be optimistic and say somewhere in Sydney. Besides, she still has to run AWARD school.
This one has brains and talent in spades and luckily she’s also nice so no one hates her for it…whatever she does it will be no doubt be big and well deserved.
Earl Grey? C’mon Beckstar, at least Irish Breakfast.
