    OwnerIntern creative agency
    London, United KingdomPart Time
    In 2020 while at UCA I started my own advertising agency called Intern to help support small businesses adapt to the 'new normal' and attract online customers during the pandemic. The service was free of charge and provided by myself and some fellow students. We were able to assist many small businesses in challenging times and in doing so gained experience of dealing with real clients, understanding their needs, prioritising our workload and delivering real life solutions to tight deadlines.
