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!

Poster Presentation Date Tuesday 10 June 10:30 to 1

Girls the poster presentations will take place on Tuesday June 9th in the Atrium.

10:30-11:30 Career Services Presentations
Time 12-1pm

You want your poster to be able to stand the test of time and act as a resource to students in a years time who are asking why they would or would not want to go to your site!

College of Communication and Media Science
