OUGD602 - Taking things into my own hands

Visiting Studio to
Start a Convo

Over the Easter break, whilst I was in London, I used my time to visit a studio I have been talking to for a few weeks hoping to get some experience. Up until that point, they had mentioned the possibility of some experience but that was as far is it went. I was determined to make it go further and so I made the 40 minute journey to brick lane, where there office is, with my newly made self promotion pack as well as a small gift. I hand delivered the package to the studio, unfortunately the person I have been talking to via email was not available that day and so I handed it to the receptionist to pass on.

The studio I have been in contact with for the passed couple of months is Wieden & Kennedy, a creative advertising agency in London. I am a huge fan of their work and they have been involved with a number of high profile campaigns. Creative advertising is definitely something I have an interest in and so is why I have been pushing them for experience for a few months now.

The Result

After not hearing back from them for a week or so, I decided to nag once again and email them to ask if they had received my pack and gift. I then received this response...

They have offered my a week working along side their creative advertising team. I have responded saying that I can do the week commencing the 30th May. I have made the decision that I have enough time to complete the week of experience whilst finishing my degree work.
