w+k london are doing their excellent side project again, and Neil asked me to stick up the recruitment details. So here they are:
"WK
Side is a talent scheme that gives four people from outside of the
advertising world the chance to be part of Wieden + Kennedy London for
3 months. We believe that good ideas can come from anyone and from
anywhere. We want to give bright, curious and enthusiastic people the
opportunity to prove us right. (And maybe to learn a few things from us
along the way.) Creative Director Tony Davidson says, 'WK Side is our
way of opening up advertising. Because we feel that the best
advertising agencies aren't just staffed with people who only know
advertising. And we think that people on the outside could maybe teach
us a thing or two.' We've done two rounds of WK Side previously and
we're now inviting submissions from people who'd like to be part of the
third round of this ongoing experiment. This time we're specifically looking to
find new talent from the world of digital. We want people who create
films, photography, animation, web content - anything from blogs to web
design.
Over 3 months, the four people
chosen will work on a broad range of projects, including live briefs,
pitches and in-house briefs and experience all aspects of advertising
and communications along the way. From planning to creative to account
management. The two previous WK Side seasons have been valuable
experience and fun. WK Siders have even won a Silver Pencil at D&AD
for work done during their time at Wieden + Kennedy.
If you are interested in becoming part of the third intake, then here's how to apply.
All you have to do is create an
answer, in any digital format, to the question 'can anything be
beautiful?' Send a link to your answer to [email protected]
Your submission must be sent no
later than 09.03.07 and you must be available for interviews in London
w/c 02/04/07. If successful you need to be available to start your 3
month stint w/c 10/04.07. You will be paid for the 3 months and will
receive mentoring and training throughout your time with us. If you're not a resident of the UK you'll need to have a valid working visa up till September '07. Good luck!
Thank you!, Thank you!, Thank you!
