Leo Burnett's Summer School...

The man himself.


....has now opened. I've just had a note through from them.

Read more about them and the scheme below:

Best of luck with it, gang. (UPDATE: It originally stated the 27th of April, though I'm now reliably informed it'll be the 4th of May in the evening).

Out of curiosity, do you know if we are able to reapply to grad schemes after securing an entry level job in advertising, or would this be bad practice?

For example, if we were to accept a job offer at a smaller agency out of financial necessity, would we be able to apply to the larger agency grad schemes in September?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Anon - Yes, you can. However, the most sensible thing to do would be to apply whilst you are still at the agency in question; there's nothing to stop the grad scheme folks putting you onto the scheme.
