Opening doors to the next generation of communications talent

We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t always.

That’s why we’ve launched AMBITIOUS Futures; a commitment from our business designed to help young people gain practical experience, build confidence and explore careers in PR, marketing communications, content and social media.

Whether you’re considering your next step after GCSEs, college or university, or simply curious about what a career in communications could look like, AMBITIOUS Futures could give you real-world insight into an exciting industry and a better understanding about the skills you need to succeed.

Our programme brings together work experience placements, industry open days, mentoring and external curriculum counsel and career lectures at schools, colleges and universities under one simple framework.

Why we’ve created AMBITIOUS Futures

Breaking into any industry can feel challenging.

For many young people, there isn’t always a clear route into the world of work. And, access to industry experience, professional networks and practical skills can often depend on who you know rather than what you’re capable of.

We want to play our part in that

Applications for our first AMBITIOUS Futures session have now closed. But if you’d like to receive news and updates on future sessions, then please fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch.

Through AMBITIOUS Futures, we’re creating opportunities for young people aged 16-25 to gain hands-on experience, learn directly from industry professionals and develop the confidence to pursue a career in communications – bridging the gap between education and employment and opening our doors to people from a wider range of backgrounds.

What’s available?

Our Open Days are free, immersive, full-day experiences designed to give participants a genuine insight into life inside a communications agency.

Hosted at our Bristol office and delivered by the AMBITIOUS team, these sessions bring together practical workshops, live briefs and networking opportunities to showcase the breadth of careers available across the communications sector. This year we’ll be running two dedicated open days in partnership with organisations including community groups, education providers, helping us reach a diverse range of young people.

In groups of around 15, our Open Days are practical, interactive and designed to leave participants with new skills, confidence and a better understanding of the opportunities available within our industry.

“Before joining AMBITIOUS, I had very little understanding of what life in a B2B PR agency would involve. I can honestly say it has been an incredibly valuable experience that has given me a real insight into the industry. It has given me practical skills, increased my confidence and provided real direction as I continue to consider a future career in marketing and communications.”

Keira Treadwell, Student from the University of Exeter’s Professional Pathways to Marketing Programme

Work Experience Placements

Alongside our Open Days, we also offer a structured programme of work experience placements throughout the year.

These week-long placements provide young people with the opportunity to spend time inside AMBITIOUS, gaining first-hand experience of agency life and the day-to-day work involved in research, campaign creation, creating content and supporting clients. Unlike traditional work experience programmes, our placements are designed to provide meaningful exposure to the industry, giving participants the chance to contribute to real projects, learn from experienced consultants and develop practical skills that can support future applications and career choices.

Placements are available across both PR and communications, and content and social media pathways, helping participants explore different areas of the industry depending on their interests.
