During the time I was on placement at the Leith agency, my specific roles included advertising research, copywriting, copy editing, and art direction. I had the pleasure of working on several blue chip client accounts such as Coors, Grolsch and Irn Bru. Whilst working with these clients I was able to work on concepts for various channels of media, such as print, television commercials, virals, ambient, direct, promotional and other above the line and below the line routes. The main achievements I have taken with me from this placement are my work on the Ayr Central Halloween project and the experience working on the Coors Light 'Big Voice' commercial.
