Testimonials
The IDM Summer School has given me a once in a lifetime experience and an excellent opportunity to meet industry professionals that I otherwise would never have been able to meet.
Laura Eccles, BA Advertising and Marketing Communications, De Montfort University
This has been such a rewarding 5 days. It has flown by! I’ve learnt so much about the industry; from how to manage accounts, plan them, pitch ideas, how to network professionally, how to collect and use data … and more! It is priceless and a great opportunity for everyone. (It is fun too!)
Charlotte Cooke, BA(Hons) English Language and Linguistics, University of York
This week exceeded all my expectations. I learned a great deal from the leading experts across a wide range of marketing disciplines. I am now more passionate and determined to break into this exciting and dynamic area of work. I look forward to taking this knowledge and enthusiasm with me into the future.
Jamie Longstreet, BA History, Cardiff University
This week was really interesting. I think it exceeded our expectations greatly – the amount of information and insight we got has been unreal. It has been really great and I am so grateful for the opportunity to take part. The agency visit – the range of talks and the patrons evenings made the week what it was. Having a hands on experience of getting to pitch with a group and work on a case has been really interesting and exciting.
