What the industry thinks
“If you run a creative business and have struggled to get new talent into the company or want to diversify your offering without committing to a new member of staff – then a trainee placement organised by industry experts, Vision+Media could be right for you. Our placement helped us to think in a completely new way about the process of film production. I’d definitely recommend a placement to anyone who is interested in expanding their horizons in new creative areas.”
Mark Beaumont, Creative Director, Dinosaur
“We decided to get a placement is because we were growing as a business and were finding it increasingly difficult to find good quality developers. Jeff Lloyd came to us via Vision+Media, who part funded his placement. From day one he was treated like one of the team, getting involved in client and internal projects. At the end of the placement we offered Jeff a job. That was 12 months ago and I’m pleased to say that he’s still with us. Placements help ensure a healthy pipeline of talent.”
Lee Turner, MD, Fluid Creative
“We used Vision+Media’s training placement programme to add to our SEO team. The training placement was well run, made a minimum impact on the business, in terms of time to deliver and we’ve gone on to employ our trainee, whose abilities draw envious looks from our competitors.”
Simon Wharton, Managing Director, PushOnLtd
