1. 1

2. WHAT IS IT?
An opportunity for college leavers from
estates, who show genuine creative potential,
to gain access to the communication industry
through real world campaign experience
and on-going opportunities

3. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY?

4. IT’’S A LOT MORE FUN THAN MOST JOBS
IT
A lot of jobs pretend to be great fun when they’re
actually really pretty dull

5. THIS…
YOU CREATE STUFF LIKE THIS…

11. ‘IF YOU FIND SOMETHING YOU REALLY
LOVE, YOU’LL NEVER WORK AGAIN’
YOU’ AGAIN’
Winston Churchill said that, in the days before
Banksy thought he’d look better with a mohawk
for a haircut.
And we think it’s really true – if your work feels
like play, it can’t really be work, can it?

THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
THINGS YOU CAN DO

13. BUT IT CAN BE A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK
It’s sad but true – people tend to get breaks in the
communications industry based on who they know as
much as what they can do

14. WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT

15. WE’
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

16. YOU’
YOU’LL BE FINISHING COLLEGE BUT WON’T BE GOING ON TO
WON’
HIGHER EDUCATION

17. YOU’
YOU’LL BE CREATIVE
You might write stories, have your own blog, tag, spit, make music
on your computer, make videos…
Or you might just love films, art, music, tv and love thinking and talking
about it
Or you might just have interesting ideas about things…
You don’t need to know anything about communications. We can tell you
about that

18. HOW IT WORKS

23. PART TWO
We look to place you into paid placements
at various communications agencies, based
on what you’re interested in

To get a placement you’re going to need to
bust a gut and show some real talent.

those things! Remember – hard work doesn’t
feel like hard work when it’s fun
