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

IELTS Prep Sessions

Girls this is a great opportunity!

The ABP’s Sabeel Centre, on L2 between D and E wings, provides language support for students, including dedicated IELTS sessions on three days a week between 10 and noon. Students can also obtain individualised support by signing up for tutorial sessions.

For the upcoming SETSL day on 5th October, one of our faculty will be holding a workshop on “IELTS Tips & Tricks”. If there is sufficient interest, it may be possible to set up a workshop specifically for CCMS students.
