We recently welcomed De Montfort uni student Liam Grimmette to the PR department for work experience.  Here’s how he got on…

I’m just coming to the end of three weeks work experience at Unsworth Sugden which has been fantastic. My first day started with a brief tour of the building where I got a very positive vibe. Everyone had a smile on their face which was welcoming in itself. It wasn’t long before I felt like a genuine member of the team and I had a list of jobs to do.

My first jobs included coming up with competition ideas for a future newsletter and updating the company marketing calendar. I remember one of my lecturers at university saying that no day is ever the same when working in PR, and they weren’t wrong. Over the past three weeks, I have done everything from writing press releases and putting together launch event packs to arranging press-cuttings for meetings and researching strawberry-shaped balloons. The work experience has also enabled me to gain insight into how a PR company works together to create successful results.

Overall, my experience at Unsworth Sugden has been priceless and has been genuinely enjoyable throughout. The clients at Unsworth Sugden are very fortunate to have an extraordinary PR company representing them.
