An extension and an interesting opportunity...

These jobs will probably not involve framing.

Two things to tell you about.

1) The IPA Summer School:

The deadline's extended to the 6th of May, so get writing.

2) LHBS

This is a bit of a left field one - an Austrian brand strategy agency, LHBS, is looking for a trainee to start on the 1st of May (or shortly afterwards).

Below is a bit more about the job. To note, it is a paid gig. Good luck:

"LHBS is a boutique innovation and brand strategy consultancy based in Vienna, Austria. We believe that change is the natural order of things. That's why we look at human behavior, media, culture and society and try to understand the changing nature of demand so that our clients are always prepared. We are looking for an energetic, curious and passionate digital native to support our team in the following fields:

- Trendspotting and pattern recognition

- Desktop research, social media monitoring, benchmarking and data analysis

- Preparation and participation in creative workshops and client meetings

- Analytical and creative problem-solving

- Co-authoring of research reports and studies

- Back office management

The ideal candidate has just finished university and has strong background/interest in sociology, marketing or strategic management and is curious to learn more about human behavior and how brands and businesses can enrich human lives. The candidate should be fluent in English and savvy with all office applications; from Keynote to Google Analytics and Tweetdeck. German and other languages are a plus. Furthermore you should be able to start your 6-12 months internship on the 1st of May 2011.

If you are interested in working together with an international and interdisciplinary team on innovation and strategy projects from FMCG to mobile providers across Central Eastern Europe, please send your digital application to: Stefan Erschwendner, se@lhbs.at. Other places to find us include:

Good luck with those two.

Desiring Designers...

Hello there.

Here's another role to tell you about...

The lovely Lambie Nairn are looking for a Design graduate to join our team as Design Intern. He or she must have a good level of competence within the adobe suite and must have some experience within design agencies or a similar branding environment. Please email your CV, portfolio and cover letter to careers at lambie-nairn.com.

Best of luck, gang.

Karmarama are open for business...

Maybe there will be this kind of karma. Maybe.

Hello gang.

I have been alerted by Lucy Minton (who works at Karmarama) that the blighters have gone and opened their graduate scheme.

You can find it here, on Facebook. You need to fill out their questions by the 17th of April.

You need to be free in late April/early May for an interview, and if successful (you'll be told on the 20th of May) you will take part in a summer internship with two others across the summer - across July, August and September.

The successful grad will then be offered a job in Account Management.

Best of luck.

A few (pre-recorded) tips...

But not by me...

AdGrads was never intended to be written by a few people.

So, it's with great pleasure to be able to host a few bits of content written by the lovely Ms Francesca Wilski. She's in the middle of finishing off an MA in Broadcast Journalism, and has set up her site (ADvice and ADvise) in order to also help grads into Advertising/as part of her course. Which is great stuff, especially as she's just had a job offer off the back of it.

The Facebook group's here, along with the twitter. (On a side note, if anyone's interested in helping write her FB page now that she's gotten a job, leave a message in the comments).

The videos are below. I hope they're helpful:

Let us know what you think.

A job, and some work experience...

I doubt very much if this is what you'll be doing..

Hello gang.

Two more opportunities to tell you about.

1) Rapier

The chaps at Rapier are recruiting for an Account Executive. If this sounds of interest, get in touch with Nikki Longhurst at Nikki dot Longhurst @ rapieruk dot com with your CV and cover letter.

2) WCRS & Co

Fancy doing a spot of work experience at WCRS? Of course you do. Get in touch with workexperience at wcrsandco dot com for a form (I have been sent one, but I couldn't find one online..odd). The deadline for a week's work experience is midnight on the 10th of April.

Best of luck with both of them.

Marketing and Advertising...

You may need to be powered by a few of these.

Hi gang.

Two new gigs to tell you about, both with a variety of roles on offer. So, without further ado...

1) Incredibull (click the linky for more information)

"Want to work for an integrated agency with a difference? IncrediBull is a small brand communication agency that specialises in PR, Event Management, Digital Engagement, Creative Design and based right opposite St Paul’s. We’re looking for a graduate to join our team to work across our PR, Events and Digital teams. You’ll need to be someone who loves a challenge and not expect any two days to be the same. A regular day for a grad can range from securing press coverage in the national media, participating in brainstorms for new campaign strategies or travelling across the country to lend a hand at a client event. You might also help out our Film team to storyboard a new idea or out on a shoot for one of our clients. We’re looking for grads to inspire us and really show off what they know and so we’re inviting applications by post and as videos as well as the online application form. We know grads have loads to offer, so we don’t want to restrict your creativity. A media background isn’t essential, but some previous work experience is. Applications close on 18th March 2011 and we'll let you know if you're successful shortly afterwards and we'll be holding the assessment day on 14th April 2011, so mark it in your diary."

2) TCA London

TCA are an integrated agency, looking for three positions to be filled by their graduate scheme. They are looking for a digital guru (covering all aspects of Digital Marketing, including online, mobile and SM across all of their clients), a promotional/partnership Marketing person and someone to work in Direct and Integrated Marketing. You can find out more by clicking on the link above, and by emailing recruitment at tcalondon.com.

Best of luck with both.

Wannabe Planner? Account Handler? Creative?

I reckon planning's the one on the left...

Here at AdGrads towers, we've been told a little about two new opportunities, both of which you should consider applying for if you're trying to get into the business:

1) IPA Summer School

The IPA (in conjunction with many agencies) run a Summer School, aimed at getting talented graduates into the business. The main link is here. There are two streams you can apply for, account management/planning and creative.

Both streams close on the 15th of April. Get applying.

2) Ogilvy Planning Fellowship

This is that rarest of rare beasts, a Planning specific introduction to the business. Details are here. It closes on the 14th of March at midnight. If you have any other queries, get on twitter and talk to the Ogilvy Fellows.

Best of luck with both of them.
