Great news!
As I recent graduate I felt, and to a degree still feel, the squeeze on graduate opportunities.

OMD and PHD are certainly doing our bit to bring talented graduates in to the media industry..at last count we’ve hired 65 over the last 12 months! Better and much easier than having to recruit experienced staff from the shallow talent pool.
So to all you graduates, if you want a start in the media industry, contact the MFA and get an internship or apply to us! We will welcome you with open arms.

Search for Global Graduate Jobs.
