Get into Advertising
Sunday 18 July: “Book Day”
If you want to work as a copywriter or art director, you need three things:
1. A portfolio of work. 2. A creative partner. 3. Good ideas
This is what the “Book Day” on 18 July is all about.
It’s your chance to work on ad campaigns and make a start on a portfolio of work that will help you get a job. Meet other like-minded people and work with different creative partners throughout the day. Receive feedback from an industry practitioner and professional copywriter. No experience necessary – just good communication skills and the desire to work as a copywriter or art director in advertising.
Sunday 15 August: How to get into advertising
Everything you ever wanted to know about getting into advertising – well, almost! Information on how to get your CV noticed, job applications, work experience, graduate training, what happens at interviews and how to find work. This workshop is designed for people who have had no experience (or very little experience) of advertising and – if you want to work in advertising – it will help give you the focus and direction you need.
Sunday 7 November: How to get into copywriting/art direction
Information on how to get a job as a creative, how to find work experience and how to build a portfolio of work. Partner up with others, work on real briefs and find out if you have what it takes.
The workshops are led by Andrea Neidle, the author of “How to Get into Advertising” (Cengage Learning) and are held at Birkbeck College, University of London. 9.45am-5pm. The £94 fee (student rate) includes lunch, refreshments, an information pack and a copy of the day's slides. Phone or email Andrea to book your place today.
"Your advice definitely paid off as I've managed to convert a couple of weeks extended work experience at BBH into a full-time position as an account assistant on a global brand!" Tom Woodhead, BBH
"All in all an invaluable experience which I would recommend to anyone interested in advertising. It was well worth every penny." Liz Edwards
"After doing a few placements, we finally got our break at Mother… it gave us two awards at the British Television Advertising Awards! So thank you for your help and support during the workshop!" Creative Team
