Hello everybody. My name is Henry; I am Nifty’s latest summer intern.
What caught my eye about Nifty was the way it brings together Marketing and PR – two areas I’m genuinely passionate about, especially given my love for working with media. It all started when I was younger and encouraged to sit at the dining room table to read newspapers each weekend. Documentaries in the evenings were always on the TV. Well, I say documentaries but it was really just rewatching Top Gear Specials.
Because Nifty allow for Marketing and PR to work together collectively, I can enjoy the best of both worlds. I know this is rare in the workplace and it’s what sets Nifty apart from other agencies – it’s something I will certainly miss when my time here comes to an end.
Outside the office (or classroom), I enjoy playing golf with friends – weather permitting of course. Travel’s another favourite… when I can actually afford to go anywhere.
I still have one last year of being a student, not that long ago going into the workplace seemed like worlds away. Knowing my final year at university is ahead makes the transition into the workplace even more exciting. I haven’t been at Nifty for long but it has certainly confirmed that I want a career in marketing and PR.
I know I’m not yet qualified to offer advice but for anyone else who may be looking for an internship, I would really recommend Nifty. You can learn so much, so quickly. One thing that I was worried about before starting was feeling like a spare part, or my ideas not being taken seriously. However, this could not have been any further from the truth. I really feel like my ideas and actions could have a real impact on not just Nifty, but our clients too.
