Work Experience: VCCP ad school \u2013 7th – 11th July 2025<\/b><\/p>\n

Interested in a career in advertising but not really sure how it works? Well, we have the perfect opportunity to kick start your career!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are opening our doors again for a week-long summer ad school at our HQ in London Victoria, and you can apply now!<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT IS AD SCHOOL?<\/b><\/p>\n

We wanted to challenge the stereotype of the normal ad school experience \u2013 there\u2019s no tea and coffee making during this week! Instead you get a jam-packed week giving you a genuine insight into life in an advertising agency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From creative to strategy, production to account management, PR to media planning and buying, you\u2019ll leave the week knowing exactly how a fully integrated campaign comes together.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have a timetable full of talks from industry-leading specialists, armed with all the information required to pull together your very own campaign. The other half of your week is spent working on a pitch for a live brief in the agency, with the help of mentors and your fellow <\/span>ad school team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Qianqian Zhou, previous ad schooler and now Junior UX Designer in Bernadette<\/b>: “Looking back, ad school was a window of opportunity. It gave me a real look into how the advertising industry works and how different teams come together to bring ideas to life. More than that, it was a chance to meet inspiring people, have real conversations, and get my foot in the door. Sometimes, all you need is the right opportunity, and for me, ad school was the one.”<\/i><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

WHO CAN APPLY?<\/b><\/p>\n

We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated applicants aged 18+, who have a desire to find out more about advertising and where they may fit into the industry. Simple as that, no other requirements!<\/span><\/p>\n

VCCP London houses almost 800 staff alone, and is a melting pot of specialists. Some are highly creative, some are more analytical and some are simply brilliant with people. To give you an idea of the kind of skills, knowledge and talents we look for when we recruit, we have detailed just a few of the job roles, below, which make up our award-winning team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cicely Cooper, previous ad schooler and now Research Coordinator, VCCP: <\/b>“ad<\/em>\u00a0school was my incredibly fun gateway into the advertising industry. No two days were the same, yet each offered valuable insights. Being surrounded by a diverse group of like-minded individuals, each with unique perspectives, created an environment that was collaborative but also challenging. It gave me the foundations, connections, and confidence to find my place in this dynamic industry.”<\/i><\/div>\n
