Join the Class of INITIALS! A graduate marketing placement opportunity

This blog post is all about a great initiative that has been introduced recently for passionate marketeers such as ourselves!


Class of INITIALS is the new work experience programme for graduates looking to enter the exciting world of agency marketing.

INITIALS Marketing is a creative communications agency with a fantastic culture. Spanning multiple disciplines, from shopper to digital, promotional to direct, design to experiential, the world of INITIALS is fast-paced and always fun!

I myself have been working on the experiential team at INITIALS for the past three months as a Communications Exec. I've learnt a huge amount, been handed my fair share of responsibility, and have been involved in some amazing national-scale projects. But I'm sure you guys are all fed up of reading other people's success stories, which is why I've waited until now to share mine with you - the launch of Class of INITIALS means that you have the same opportunity that I had to bag your dream marketing job!

Last summer, I spent two weeks at INITIALS along with a number of other students/graduates. I left with some great experience under my belt, but with no concrete promise of a job. Just under a year later, however, luck was with me and I was invited back to fill the position I'm in now. This year the graduate programme has more of an official structure to it, with 5 graduates being selected via a challenging (but fun!) recruitment process to carry out a four week work placement between July and September. For the right graduate there could be a job at the end!

Applications are being accepted via the INITIALS' Facebook page, where you can also find out a few more details about the company and some great past work, as well as what's on offer. Please don't hesitate to comment/contact me if you have any questions!

Good luck!

P.S. You might notice that the date for feedback on your round 2 application is BEFORE round 2 actually takes place. INITIALS will be aiming to get back to you with an answer by 22nd June, not 2nd!
