A Day in the Life of Carsten Fillinger
VCCP's CCO makes morning yoga, manages to merge meetings with passion projects & measures his day against Cannes.
05.00: After a two hour yoga workout, I prepare breakfast. Just some herbal tea with ginger and dried beetroot. Important meeting in London today.

07.00: Made some sketches for a disruptive app. Bought a ‚Schrippe’. German speciality. So important to act local.
Dishes: www.burleigh.co.uk
09.00: Checked Mails and forwarded them. Wrote a short film about an indie band that gets sold out. Name it ‚Radio Model One’. Things just inspire me.
Radio: www.ebay.com
10.00: Improvise on a theme for a TV ad I haven’t written yet. Call the agency and postpone all meetings. These things take time. Good title.
Piano: ECDs own.
12.00: The kid says I forgot to make him breakfast. I criticise his look. He doesn’t reply. Tough little fellow. Just like his father. I am quite tall though.
Shoes: www.drmartens.com
13.00: International MD is early today and pretends to wait for me. I criticise his jumper. We have a laugh. He loves creative people.
Glasses: MDs own.
14.00: We spontaneously hurry to the airport. Thank god I always stay calm. Hate to have forgotten my expensive shades though.

14.30: Disruption: They have a personalised message for us on the airport speakers. Tell MD I want to take a picture for shots and hand him my bag. We are a good team.
14.33: Boarding with a young family. The baby is screaming very loudly. I don’t feel disturbed. We are creative people, not business class snobs. I tell that to everyone around me.
14.40: Got upgraded to business class. Offer my seat to the mother with the screaming baby. Vladimir Klitschko had the seat next to me.
Flight: www.easyjet.co.uk
17.00: Finally arrived in London. Feel exhausted. Why not have the meeting later? MD is relatively positive about it. Notice he still carries my bag. Makes me giggle.
23.00: Wake up after a power nap to find a dozen messages on my phone. Meeting has been cancelled two hours ago. It’s a crazy business. I think of Cannes.
