Career advice from recently placed Junior Creative, Dan Noller

Are you new to the industry, looking to get a foot in the door or wanting to know more about what Major Players can do for you? Well why not hear it from one of our success stories. We placed Dan as an intern at advertising agency Elvis Communications, after he graduated from university with a graphic design degree. He’s since gone on to become a permanent and valued member of the Elvis team and is now a fully-fledged Junior Creative.

Advice
“Try to see the most amount of people with broadest amount of opinions as possible, as you can learn an awful lot. There are lots of people out there to help you, NABS, D&AD, recruiters and more, so make sure you pull on all those resources.”

On internships
“They are really exciting to be part of as you have such a short period of time to impress and prove yourself, so it’s a really high energy experience, with some late nights, but its well worth it.”

On core skills
“Being creative and a good communicator are pretty essential skills to have. Also having really good attention to detail is very important too.”

On inspiration
“I tend to just go for a walk around London – it’s an amazing place to be in and also I think it’s good to get away from the brief, so speaking to other people helps too.”
