Ad School - work experience opportunity


Recommended Posts

Hello. I work at VCCP, the advertising agency behind Compare The Market, O2, easyJet, Cadbury's, Dominoes, Go Daddy, Organic and may other brands.


Ad School is a week-long work experience opportunity for people aged 18+. The idea is to challenge the stereotype of normal work experience where you might shadow somebody or make tea/coffee, and instead give the Ad Schoolers a week of insight into life at an Ad agency and a live brief for them to work through.


There's more info on the week here

https://www.vccp.com/news/2022/apr/apply-to-ad-school-2022


and applications are open now and close next Friday 20th May - here

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLOdkvEF22xGcd8y8E_v_hbU3ACNG09zxCWtf9z462r0K7BA/viewform

NB: it is a Google form, so you need a google account to log-in and complete the form.


Applicants don't need any level of experience to apply, the week will run from 20th - 24th June and applications close on the 20th May.


Our offices are just off of Victoria Street (185 bus or direct train from Denmark Hill).


I hope this is helpful to someone interested.

Good luck!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
