“My time at Lakestar Media has made me realise the importance of working in a closely knitted team. Not only was I able to experience the different challenges in a digital marketing agency, but I was given the opportunity to interact with clients. This helped me to develop my communication skills and to manage my work in a more efficient manner. During my placement, all my colleagues have been very friendly and I was offered continuous first-class training from my line managers. I am very grateful that Lakestar has taken me on as a placement student and I will always cherish my moments at the company.”

“When I first heard about Lakestar Media I thought it looked a great company to work for. I have always been interested in the digital marketing world with the help from my course at University, and believed that Lakestar was skilled in this sector. I have learnt about all kinds of online media such as SEO, PPC and Affiliate marketing. I was taken seriously and involved in real client cases. Not only have I learnt a lot more about the industry and been given the skills to progress in this area, I have really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the upcoming months with Lakestar.”

Sophie Rigg

“I originally applied for this placement because of my interest in the area within which Lakestar Media operate. In the early stages of my placement year I have found myself working in a professional and yet friendly environment, in which I have never found it difficult to ask questions or put any suggestions forward. All the staff have been extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the training period, they have dedicated a lot of time to help me develop my skills and to be efficient in my role as Data Analyst. I have quickly found myself to be an important part of the organisation, my level of engagement has never felt restricted with responsibility being confidently placed in my hands. I feel the skills I will develop throughout this placement year in a professional environment will put me in a strong position when I finish my studies to find further employment.”

Phil Walsh

Trainee Data Analyst

“The reason the placement position attracted me at Lakestar was due to online marketing becoming more and more popular, playing a vital part in any business. Another factor was online marketing spend overtaking that of offline, which reinforced the importance of online marketing, not only today but more importantly the role it will play in the future. From my first week at Lakestar I have been given many responsibilities, which continue to grow as I progress. This has provided me with a fantastic platform to develop digital marketing skills and further my business acumen. The level of engagement I have experienced is higher than I ever expected from a placement. I have been involved in meeting clients, conference calls and making changes to online marketing accounts to help make them more profitable. Working at Lakestar I have continued to grow and learn, allowing me to get the most out of the experience.”

Nouri Messaoud

Trainee Account Manager

"Working at Lakestar Media has been an incredible opportunity for me; it has really opened me up to the world of work and I’ve rapidly developed my online marketing skills since starting here. What I enjoy the most about the placement is the level of involvement I have with the company and its clients, a lot of placements advertised don’t offer such hands on positions, but this is what really caught my eye about the position here at Lakestar Media as they really get you engaged and involved from day one. The members of staff are always willing to help me out, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working in such friendly and positive environment. Overall I am greatly benefitting from the experience I’m receiving at Lakestar Media and I hope to carry on improving and developing my skills throughout my placement year.”
