Internship Opportunity!

The reason I am contacting you today, is that I am now with a digital agency called Traffic, and we are currently on the look-out for interns to help us with a project as soon as possible and I thought your University may be interested?

To give you some more information, Traffic is a multi-skilled digital advertising agency that encompasses the "true" meaning of digital advertising in its entirety, from Web & mobile collateral production to strategic advertising and content planning. The agency has worked in 25+ industries and produced work for well over 300+ clients from medium to multi-national. We were born digital and we are staying digital.

We are in the process of landing a global food and beverage client and are looking to discover new creative talent that can assist on developing a show-stopping proposal.

We are looking for bright and promising individuals in the fields of:

·         Graphic design
·         Filmmaking
·         Digital Marketing
·         Photography
·         Art
·         Copywriting

You may know a recent graduate or current student looking for work experience and the chance to expand their talents whilst adding a global F&B brand campaign to their creative portfolio. We are looking for dynamic young individuals to broaden our creative outlook and bring the campaign to life, whilst working alongside a multi-national, award-winning creative team.

We’re looking for people to start asap, so if you think any of your students/contacts may fit the bill, please could you ask them to get in touch with me directly, and ideally send a portfolio and/or CV by Tuesday 6^th October.

Thanks so much in advance for your assistance, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Many thanks and kindest regards,

Nikki

Great Summer position in Dubai with VisitBritain!

The internship role will focus on destination marketing campaigns with aviation partners including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad and  Turkish Airlines.

They will have the opportunity to join partner meetings, help develop creative briefs and assisting me in executing marketing campaigns throughout the Middle East, APAC and Turkey regions.

In additional there will be a requirement to support the local Gulf team with their upcoming major ‘Dunes to Countryside’ campaign.

There will be various marketing communication activities and operational support that the intern will be able to be involved in.

At this stage we are looking to receive interested candidates CV’s. The intern program will go for 2 months over June/July, 2015.

See Faye or myself for details!

Poster Examples From the Fall.

Girls this is ONLY the 2nd set of posters done for the internship, yours are the 3rd GROUP.

I think there is still a long way to go when it comes to a A grade poster.

DO NOT USE THESE POSTERS AS THE GUIDE to EXCELLENCE.

What you need to keep in mind is the simple fact that the objective of the poster is to help FUTURE students make placement choices.

1. the poster is the last thing you will do as a CCMS student and should show that you can write, present and create excellent stories from a variety of information.

2. think in terms of copy and art, BALANCE!

3. remember the audience and the purpose.

4. use links to send students to images, video, audio or any other additions to the poster.

5. your poster should be better, in terms of content, layout and design than what you did the day you joined Zayed University!
