Why start your career at Media Contacts?
We are passionate about growing and developing talent and our graduate scheme bears testament to this. On joining us our graduates are exposed to a comprehensive training programme, including external recognition from courses such as the IPA Foundation Certificate. We adopt a hands-on approach with our graduates so exposure and learning from senior talent is never out of reach to our rising stars. The investment placed in our graduates ensures that they are empowered with the skills and experience to evolve into well-rounded media specialists.
And of course, if it is career progression you are looking for there is an abundance of opportunities. We like to home grow our talent from within the agency, so we don’t intend for you to stay a Account Executive for long.
If this sounds like the graduate scheme for you, we are always on the look out for enthusiastic graduates looking for their first job in Media.
Before applying….
Please be sure to understand what kind of job you are applying for. We receive CVs from graduates who do not really understand what we do. If you want to be an Art Director then please apply to an Advertising agency. We plan and buy media across all platforms; we do not actually make ads. So whilst it is important to appreciate the creative work that goes into making an advert, we are more interested in buying and planning smart media campaigns. If you are unsure about happens here have a read of our ‘What we do’ page.
Testimonials from graduate joiners
“This was not just my first job within the media industry but also my first ‘real job’. I had done placements and internships before but this was my first step to building a career, this was a very daunting prospect for me… it needn’t have been! Since joining the team almost 6 months ago I’ve enjoyed everything, not just on a professional level but also on a personal one too. In a limited time I have learned an incredible amount about planning and buying and I’ve also had a lot of fun doing it, meeting some truly inspirational people along the way… get involved!”
