Wonderful Interns

We are celebrating our tenth anniversary this summer. One thing that has been a constant in our history is interns. We are so grateful for the support and enthusiasm they bring to the office and have used our intern programme as the main recruitment tool for junior staff. Three of our current staff started their working life at Elevate as interns (some as long as seven years ago).

We have a great crop of interns at the moment – Zoe is on work placement from IADT, where she is doing a degree in Arts and Management. Her arts expertise and social media skills have been put to good use on RTE’s ARTifact and Dublin Contemporary. Gillian and Meagan are on work placement from Dundalk Institute of Technology’s degree in PR. Gillian is getting to indulge her love of fashion on the TK Maxx account, while Meagan has been a great help on the Seat and Curves accounts.

Thanks to our current and previous interns for your hard work and dedication.
