Message Merchants is once again looking forward to welcoming students from DeMontfort University for work experience. We have always championed the benefits of work experience, for both the students and their future employers, and we often learn as much from the students as they do from us.

This time we are able to give them a working insight into launching and maintaining media partnerships throughout a campaign. The Vantis Corporate Challenge, which involves 100 local businesses raising money for LOROS and Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People and has a 2010 target of £100,000 will definitely present them with some interesting and varied opportunities. The role will involve working closely with local businesses and media and give them a real taste of life in a lively PR agency.
