Hi, I'm Jake and I have recently finished at Gloucester University and I am thirsty to start the next chapter in this great adventure called 'life'. I have been using my time, during the lockdown, doing virtual book crits, webinars,TED talks and reading through as many ‘Dirty Planning - by Julian Cole’ presentations as I can get my hands on . This has been great in helping me to understand the industry but now I feel ready, and eager, to put the learning into practice. I know times are uncertain at the moment, as the world seems to have paused, but we can still look to the future and not let the hurdles faced today get in our way. It is much better to work out how we can get over the hurdles rather than see them as obstacles in our path. Optimism, passion and true inspiration to create something pretty epic for the world is what this industry needs right now. And, I for one, feel up to the challenge.

BA Creative AdvertisingThe University of Gloucestershire
- Croydon, United Kingdom
Three years of learning the ropes of advertising. Fueling my passion to be creative and endorse an opportunity to creates things that I can watch grow bigger than myself.
Whilst at University, I founded my own Gymnastics Team and weekly volunteered at the racecourse working with people with disabilities at the RDA.
The course was incredible to offer connections to industries and agencies and granted me the learning/skills to freelance whilst at university. I've worked alongside; a start-up gym, a cafe, a security company, nationwide construction company and a couple of local pubs. I ran social channels, designed marketing ads, print-outs and offered guidance for how to attract a wider audience. Most recently myself and my creative partner created our own Facebook Chatbot, that sends you free home-workouts, this has over 200+ subscribers on it currently...
