"I'm getting in touch on behalf of MediaCom, the UK's number one media agency, who have an amazing opportunity for creative, socially engaged and aware 16-19 year old students.
MediaCom work with organisations such as Facebook, Coca Cola, Sky and PlayStation. They are looking for a fresh perspective on adverts aimed at teenagers and want to involve students. The students will do real work for huge organisations and develop ideas alongside a variety of advertising professionals.
In return for their insight and work, MediaCom will commit to supporting the students in areas such as CV writing, interview coaching and building work experience. Students who excel on the scheme will have the opportunity to apply for MediaCom's apprenticeship and get a full-time paid job in the media industry.
MediaCom are hosting two open days in the Easter holidays (Wednesday 4th April and Friday 6th April) for students who are interested in this opportunity. Places are VERY LIMITED, so please let me know if you have any students in mind who would be a good fit for this opportunity and I will pass your contact details on to MediaCom who will work with you to select the students to attend."
