A massive thank you to everyone at Pravda advertising for our placement. We managed a 2 week placement, 4 briefs, 0 casualties and 2 nights at the pub. It was a helluva eye opener. Long hours, very little praise, lots of scamps, lots of self doubt, lots of tea drinking and some good table football matches.
It's been a great insight into the industry and I'm hopefully a lot wiser for the experience. I'm also hoping that we are invited back for another stint as soon as is humanly possible.
We worked on a radio script, a print ad, a health information campaign and a pitch for a new company in need of branding. I can name none of their products because we signed confidentiality agreements for the whole bloody lot. All we can say is that we worked our little beards of and sadly none of our work got picked up or put into production.
We're definitely going to be a lot wiser for the experience even if it was short and sweet, although I must say I learned more from people in the pub than I did in the office but I guess that goes with the terrority.
We will probably post again in more detail about it but for now I just want to say a massive thank you to Simon and Tim for giving us the opportunity and thanks to all the guys and girls in creative and accounts who made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. We will definitely be in contact begging for another chance. As our journey continues we have finally started our "networking" part of the journey.
Peace out
Tom

Hey guys, just having a gander at the blog as I saw Adam Richardson had posted about you and I love a good nosey!
Me and my ex-partner had our first agency stint at Pravda for 5 weeks and only managed to get a DM leaflet into production - it's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes! Are Cat and Pete still there? A lot of the successfully pitched work comes from them, they're a great team it has to be said.
Glad you enjoyed your time there, and good luck with whatever the future holds for you!
