Undertaking a placement was a no brainer! It is getting increasingly difficult to secure a graduate job. Taking part in a placement gave me the opportunity to gain the experience that employers are looking for in a candidate.
My placement was at Fourth Floor – a creative influencer marketing agency. Fourth Floor weren’t advertising a placement, but I sent an email and secured a week of work experience first. It helped me get to know them and to check if there was a mutual fit. By the end of the week, I had an offer to come back full-time.
I worked on the campaigns team, where I organised and executed influencer marketing campaigns for video game publishers. This involved working with lots of content creators or ‘YouTubers’. One of the best parts of the job is seeing content go live, especially if there is a positive reaction from the audience.
