About me

I have recently graduated with a BA degree in Media and Cultural studies from the University of Sussex. As a graduate I now need chance to expand on the theoretical and practical knowledge I gained from my degree, as well as help me to acquire valuable experience in the everyday operations within an advertising agency. The modules I covered in my degree (a few of which I have listed in my CV) helped me to look at the industry from various angles but most importantly set me up for entry into the account handling/planning departments of a company, the production side also interests me greatly. I appreciate that all forms of conventional advertising each have their own merits. However, the types of advertising that particularly interest me are television, event marketing and viral, which I believe is where the industry is heading.

My future aspirations within the industry would be to gain a graduate position, gain further insight into the different processes taking place in each department. I also intend to study further and obtaining a Masters degree in the future.

I have good management and organisational skills, am extremely hard working and can work as part of a team and independently as well, which I have proven throughout my career. I have basic software skills and am proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). I also have limited knowledge of Publisher and Macromedia Flash.
