Placement Feedback Form: Turnkey & Summer Placements.

It was vital too me to ensure i did not leave uni with no idea of where i see myself within the industry, i feel that by undergoing the placements i did i have found my feet within the creative industry, Below is a list of placements that i have taken on while studying at leeds college of art what i learnt from them.

Saatchi & Saatchi

This placement was a huge one for me at this stage i was puzzled as to what i wanted to work within was it creative advertising or branding and identity within a design studio. I found that working here starting off the studio environment was much like an office space. and the levels of input and communication with the creative directors was very low. I realised that it would take years to work up to be come a creative director and this is something i wanted to achieve much quicker.

The same applied to the following Placements;

BBH - Advertising Agency.
Channel 4 - 4CREATIVE.

although these placements where very beneficial to me i realised that for me personally it would be much more effective if i work in a much smaller environment allowing me to give much more input when approaching a brief.

TurnKey:

I was approached by a branding and marketing/Advertising agency based in leeds this was very promising for me as these where my two areas of speciality within the creative industry, I was given a placement in which i was involved heavily with work and loved every minute of it. I even got a chance to prove myself when it came to a creative/Art direction role as this is where is see myself in the future it was a huge step for me. I seemed to make a great impression and was actually offered a full time job at TurnKey that i will be starting as soon as college is over.
