They are both working for the HUGE advertising company Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) who lauch some of the biggest advertising campains worldwide! The girls were offered the job straight out of Graduate Fashion Week after the showcase of their amazing FMP, 'The Live Issue' which you can check out at the website www.theliveissue.co.uk/HOME2.html - its great work well paid off!
