Starting out

Last year, Red and I won the yMedia challenge, a challenge that gets students together with Non Profit Organisations (NPOs) to work on digital media. One of the prizes was an internship at Saatchi and Saatchi.

We went to the office on Beach Road last year and were shown around by the General Manager, Jen. The place looks really cool, lots of energy and an awesome work environment.

During our time there, we will be working in a variety of roles: sales, project management, creative work like scripting, production work like shooting TV ads, post production work like touching up photos and magazine advertisements, Internet work like SEO - search engine optimisation. Bring it on!

We're working there for 6 weeks, with the possibility of more work if we can demonstrate our talent, and our skills are needed. The internship starts on February 11th 2008. Red and I are really looking forward to starting there.

I will update this blog as a chronicle of my Saatchi and Saatchi experience.
