Creative agency Leo Burnett and Diageo Australia have launched a new program to help students to break into adland.
The announcement:
In an industry first, Leo Burnett Sydney and long-time client and premium drinks business Diageo Australia announce the launch of The Nest, a program offering ambitious and talented students and recent graduates a paid marketing and advertising internship spanning both businesses.
A joint initiative between one of the most awarded client-agency partnerships in Asia Pacific, The Nest will offer the first step on the career ladder, with access to invaluable experience and networking opportunities working with some of the industry’s best creative, strategic and business minds.
An intern program that pays, that’s progress. Congratulations to all involved.
If the tradies can afford to pay apprentices, ad-land can afford to pay interns. On yah Burnetts.
This is great to hear! Especially given all of the debate around the ethics of unpaid internships. Is there much employment prospect here?
