At 21, some may call me in experienced in the creative industry!!! Would you consider a 3rd year Marketing, Advertising and PR student inexperienced? Or would you consider that I would bring new and exciting ideas to the table.
Being able to define myself as an individual employable
professional has been my goal from the start. My enthusiasm for the creative industry is clear to see through my pursuit in gaining a
career within the industry. My interest has stemmed from early childhood where
TV advertising captivated my mind, this has since transpired into the desire to persue a carreer within the the creative industry.
being able to seperate me with the rest of the employable world would be my unique and creative mind, which i showed on multiple counts with the charity fire walk. My constant want and
need to better myself continually imporves my performance. Everybody has a creative streak in them but my ability
to communicate my ideas is second to none, which I feel could and should be
used to create links between consumers and brands, which was shown clearly in how successful the charity fire walk was.
Unfortunately there is this preconceived idea that
we live in a world that to succeed it’s not what you know it’s who you know ...
but I do not believe in this. Hard work, core values and enthusiasm is the key
to my personal success. With this in mind I have worked hard at ensuring that I
maintain these key characteristics through continual academic performance as
well as participating in many extracurricular activities that I felt would
benefit my transformation from student to professional.

As most young boy's do, sport quickly takes over
their lives, I was no exception. From a very early age I was quickly involved
with taking on responsibilities such as leadership through sport. Throughout my
sporting years I have transformed from leading a team as a captain to managing
a team as well as organising social events to just being a responsible figure
within the society. This then led to being voted in in as the vice chairman of
the university of Worcester men’s football society. Being vice chairman was a
huge role to undertake as it meant that I was directly in charge of 2 teams, 16
committee members and 127 members. I feel this has enabled me to show
case my organisational skills as well as my ability to build and maintain
relationships with a wide variety of people. As a successful captain, it showed
that I could be trusted to manage a large group of people and that trust has
been echoed by the fact that I was elected for vice-chairman.
During my extra time at university I helped
organise a charity event for Sight Concern Worcester. I was in charge of public
relations and marketing the event, both internally to all students and
externally to the public. The event was a fire walk; we had 52 participators as
well as raising over £2000. My duties included designing media releases for the
local papers as well as designing and implementing the advertising for the
event. I also helped with the general marketing of the campaign, through raising
sponsorship and getting people to participate with the event.
As a complete business and creative minded package,
I feel that this self-confessed arrogance is actually strong self believe
because without it, success will be hard to come by.
