We had an apprentice in the office last week and, before he left, he wrote a piece for our blog about his experience. Check it out below… (by the way, Reece, a 15 year-old student, is a great and talented guy, an absolute pleasure to work with and yesterday we received a lovely parcel of cupcakes from him as a present! Awww…)
My name is Reece, I am from Carr Hill High school and I have just spent a week at Happy Creative for my work experience. When I first arrived at Happy, I didn’t know what to expect. However, I did learn that the people who work there are exactly what the label says on the box: Happy! The awkwardness that I thought I would encounter for the first few days did not occur as everyone is extremely nice, friendly and helpful.
I did not realise how different Happy were to other marketing companies, as my stereotypical thoughts on businesses, in general, were that they were plain boring, but a great atmosphere surrounds Happy, that shows many unique ideas: ones that I did not expect marketing companies to have. Happy use unique tools to introduce the company, the Happy Team, and their achievements to prospective clients, which I found very different and clever.
Since my arrival, I have been given many different tasks such as looking at other design and marketing companies and seeing what makes Happy Creative unique as well as doing research for and taking part in two Happy Storms. I have also looked over client briefs for recent Happy projects and given some of my own input. I have luckily been able to study and write pieces of journalism, this report of my week here being one, as well as designing logos and the putting together of some ideas for a magazine task.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my week spent here at Happy Creative, which has left me with a lot of experience of the work environment but I can say with full confidence, my time here has been Happy!
