Drew Bunyan joined Weber Shandwick in 2023 via Creative Access and is now a permanent junior creative at the company. He spoke to
Jane Hamilton at The Times about how he found the role and his advice for aspiring creatives looking to break into the industry:
“I found out about the scheme through social enterprise Creative Access. My internship was a 3-in-1 experience, working with production, design and the creative teams.
My advice would be to find an internship which you’ll genuinely enjoy. It’s a brilliant stepping stone into any industry as it exposes you to work life and skills.
Just because you don’t make it into the first one don’t give up. A hundred nos can one day lead to a yes. Be persistent, recognise when you feel disheartened by the application process, step back, then try again. Consider it the start of your grind, which may be tough at times, but it will definitely pay off in the end.”
