.

Laura graduated in 2009 from Oxford Brookes University and is now after some really good marketing experience to kick start her marketing career. Laura has gone for international marketing experience and Sydney, Australia is where she settled on.

With Sydney fast heading towards summer, this is a great time to join the other graduates heading to Sydney for a graduate marketing placement.

Laura’s marketing internship has been confirmed already, she has done the phone interview and passed with flying colours (we knew she would). So from here we will be helping Laura with her visa application, looking at flights, insurance and accommodation options for Sydney and then she will jump on a plane very soon!

The company we have placed Laura into is a marketing consultancy company. The company works very heavily online and interactive marketing, with social networking and media space to enhance their clients marketing strategies. The senior team have collective experience on some Australia’s largest brands as well as holding senior positions with companies in the US and Europe. So I hope Laura will be like a sponge and soak up the knowledge the senior team will be firing at her every day.

We wish you all the best and don’t forget about those of us in the UK heading into winter when you’re visiting the beaches around Sydney!
