It not only provides access to a broad range of leading creatives, but the weekly briefs and tutorials give a real insight into what agency life is like. It is extremely rewarding but equally as demanding. We’re looking for enthusiasm, commitment, but most of all, originality and a thirst for ideas. Even if you have never considered advertising, this could be the route towards an exciting new career.”
