Deadline for entry to the Summer School: 8th May 2009. Shortlisted candidates will be notified by the IPA by Monday 18th May 2009.
The Summer School will offer you a placement within a digital, search or direct marketing agency and will provide you with a real introduction to agency life.
You'll get the chance to work alongside the professionals - account handlers, planners, creatives - on real client business.
In addition to the work placement, there will be a series of special evening seminars and social events where you'll meet other students, see other agencies, and meet industry experts.
There will also be a prize of £1,000 each, plus you can reclaim reasonable travel expenses. Most of the agencies are in central London (regional agencies to be confirmed) so you'll have to arrange your own local accommodation. You will be expected to work from 6th July-10th September 2009.
