My Sharp opportunity

My name is Mellody and I am currently in my third year at the University of Huddersfield. I entered the marketing arena by studying Advertising and Marketing, and I soon realised that working in an agency took centre stage. Although, not just any agency, I wanted to work in an agency that is unique, down to earth, creative and willing to go the extra mile for anyone (very picky I know).

 I wanted to find some work experience and understand this thing they call ‘Agency Life’. I contacted SHARP after taking interest in what the agency did and realising they matched what I wanted. When they reached out their hand and offered me some experience, I was eager and excited to take it.

There was something about SHARP that I immediately liked. After the first day I was happy with the possibilities and experiences I would get out of this role. With no previous experience in an agency, I had a lot to discover.

I was thrown in to the deep end and got stuck in straight away. I started with just work experience but now I have a part-time internship role. Although I’m only in a couple of days a week, I feel just as part of the agency as everyone else, which is vital to a good working environment.

SHARP is full of approachable, outgoing and happy people who are experts in their field. The atmosphere is always relaxed and optimistic which is encouraging when things get a little stressful.

I’ve noticed that the two teams in the agency (creative and accounts) work in harmony together and are always communicating back and forth, so everyone is on the same page, creating a busy and diligent office. In saying that, I love coming in to this unique, fun and inspiring space.

I have learned a lot from SHARP – from how an agency is run to how many teas I can have in a day. SHARP is an agency with brilliant ideas, a friendly atmosphere and exciting prospects.
