When there's work, there's work - and well, there always seems to be work. It really is 'all go', with the COI campaigns well into research, it lightens the load on that department. Following that the mammoth that is Fairtrade had us firmly held within her grasp, with everything from small promos to some online activity and even big PR events, it's been good fun to work on.
Oh, we've been extended a bit longer, for a good few more weeks, so we're still getting our heads down, occasionally slipping in the odd hour of sleep in between. The back-end of last week saw a lovely Nike brief land on our desk, an amazing brief and an amazing opportunity at that. We're really trying to nail that one, and hopefully come away with something great.
We'll be working into the night this week, although there's not much change there; as I'm moving into my new house on Saturday. Mind you, before long it'll be dark when we're getting up, and dark when we're going home. After setting up a temporary residence at my Dad's house and a fair old commute for the last few weeks, I'm beginning to think these bags under my eyes just might actually disappear! ha.

What are your fellow placement teams been up to recently. Any been hired i the last few months?
i have no idea why you go on about how hard you work so much. not only is it boring to hear but it sounds massively disingenuous. i'm doubtful if it's even possible to work hard in advertising.
I'll bear that in mind Anon @ 13.20 I'm just telling it like it is.
@ 11.20 - There's a few people in places, a team were taken on at Inferno after a long stint, other than that not that I'm aware of.
a team were taken on at jwt earlier this year i believe and freddie and hollie can't have been at w+k that long?
Jess & someone were the guys at JWT - I think they used to be at Nitro... don't hold me to that though.
I pretty sure Freddie & Hollie have been at W+K over a year now.
bmb just hired rich and pilar...i think

Did you not say a few weeks back that a team got hired at Ogilvy?
Yep, about 6 months ago, I think.
How much are these teams starting on?
Between £18,000 - £25,000 seems to be the going rate I think, but that just an educated guess.
We were offered £16k by an agency in the midlands a couple of weeks back.
Decided to take our chances by staying at Leith on placement wage for now.
18k-21k above. 19k-24k integrated. 22k-26k digital.
PS: stop moaning about how hard you work - we all do.
I heard a team got hired at M&C Saatchi a few months back...
Thank anon @ 13:42 - There was no moaning. Although, I'm trying to tell it like it is. I'll knock it down a notch though. Thanks. Also, what are your estimates based on?
Conrad & Alex at M&C. You'll have seen some of the things they went through to get hired in Campaign a few months back.
I bet Conrad & Alex wish they hadn't bothered now.
