Leeds Met final year student Will reflects on his two weeks with Turn Key PR…
I first came across Turn Key three weeks ago when my tutor spoke highly of them at a Leeds Met lecture.  The TK team were looking for PR students to help out and my tutor advised us all to apply for the job. I’m a third year student studying Public Relations at Leeds Met and have spent a year in the industry at a national heart charity in Leeds, so I thought the opportunity to work at a brilliant innovative agency like Turn Key was too good to turn down! Within a day of the job being posted online I had sent a covering letter and CV; as the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm!
After coming in for an interview and speaking to Samara and Claire, I knew this could be a perfect piece of experience working within a well-known agency – so I was delighted when they offered me the chance to help them out!
Since starting my placement two weeks ago, I’ve worked on a variety of different campaigns for a diverse range of clients.  The most interesting job was promoting a new gourmet snack to influential bloggers and journalists – what a way to start the week!
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier, more welcoming group of people to work with. It’s been such an interesting experience spending time as part of an agency filled with designers, web developers, marketers and PR professionals all under one roof! The knowledge and confidence I’ve got from helping Claire’s PR team has been brilliant and I can’t thank Carys, Claire and Samara enough!
Thank you to everyone at TK and good luck with anything you’re working on in the future!
