Work experience in Marketing or Advertising in London.

Does anyone know of any work experience in Marketing in London? During the summer or even during the year. I am going to go into year 13 and I am aspiring to do Marketing in University and I really need to build up my personal statement for Uni.
Please can someone help me because I am Struggling. Even suggestions where you think they may offer Marketing experience I will be grateful for any response.
Thank you,
Gabija.

Hi Gabija
If you're interested in advertising, VCCP run a week long course, though it has just finished but would be worth having on your radar for the future. M&C Saatchi also run an 8-week online programme in the autumn which is very good as it covers all aspects of advertising and sets fortnightly projects with the potential for an internship at the end, so I'd advise you to register your interest for that now and then at least you can mention you hope to do it on your personal statement.
I can't advise re marketing other than for you to email marketing directors/managers at sizeable companies near you and see if you can come in for a week and work for free?
Hope that helps and good luck!
