AdSchool graduates receive placement offers
One week on from the Axis Ad School end of year show and plenty of placement offers have been coming in, according to School head Kate Humphries. Says Humphries: “Most noticeablythis year is the fact that several teams and soloists have all receivedmultiple requests. The other good news we’ve had this week is that twoof those teams are on the Young Guns Student award shortlist – onlyfour entries from the whole of Australia and NZ made the list and twoof those were ours, so a round of applause to the students involved-Kim Fraser, Karin Lungren, Graeme Clarke and Paulene Kawasjee.”
Humphries says she has had lots of requests for the link to the social media films they ran at the show. For anyone who hasn’t seen them yet the link to The Samantha Hayes song for Revlon Colour Silk is http://vimeo.com/7763509 ; Five naked photos of my Mum for TV2’s Brat Camp is http://vimeo.com/7763843 ;’That’ question for the Yes Vote is http://vimeo.com/7765347 ; and Indian Waggle for Kingfisher is http://vimeo.com/7765207.
Adds Humphries: “A big thanks to Todd Waldron for giving the studentportfolios an exhaustive going over before the show; Marsden Inch forchucking dollars behind the bar at the show and The Long Room forgifting us the use of their Short Room for the evening.”

I’m old now, but isn’t a job something that comes with pay?
where does it say job, perhaps you need glasses?
Um….in the headline?
ooops.. headline now fixed…
it’s in the headline… perhaps you need glasses too?
dont hold your breath for a job for at least 2 years of interning.
I did a few placements years back. I think agencies should only offer them if they know they can provide real briefs for juniors to work on. Otherwise you can be left sitting around twiddling your thumbs which is no good for anyone.
