At first, the idea of \u2018swimming with bigger fish\u2019 was daunting. I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect and uncertainties were creeping into my mind. But now?

What\u2019s that?\u201d I could never fully answer that question, but now I feel I could give a 2-hour lecture on it.<br \/>\nI was given so many opportunities: the chance to proofread and edit letters, write headlines, plan tweets and campaigns, learn about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strattoncraig.com\/services\/tone-of-voice\/\">tone of voice<\/a>, write car news stories for websites, receive feedback and have my ad of the week and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strattoncraig.com\/us\/insight-2\/#.U7FavfldWHY\">blog<\/a> published on their website! Like seriously, that\u2019s majorly cool.<br \/>\nThe experience of sharing office space was also new to me, and although there was a lot of sitting down typing in synchrony with other little taps around the office, it definitely beat school lessons.<br \/>\nWhen I told a friend that I wanted to drop out of school and work here instead, I wasn\u2019t bluffing. Copywriting requires skill, and even though I\u2019m not yet accustomed to the varied styles of writing used, I can only hope that in the future I will be.<br \/>\nMy understanding of the power of words for advertising and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strattoncraig.com\/services\/\">successful communication<\/a> has deepened. I feel extremely honoured to have spent time with copywriting gurus and experts in the industry. Each day brought something new and even the journey to the workplace increased my independence &#8211; on the first day, I had no idea which exit to take to get out of Waterloo station. Oh dear? Indeed.<br \/>\nI\u2019m extremely pleased that I found and chose Stratton Craig to spend the week at, because it has fuelled my desire to work, succeed and get the necessary qualifications. I have been inspired.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019d like to try out work experience here &#8211; trust me, you do &#8211; then please contact <a href=\"http:\/\/&quot;mailto:copy@strattoncraig.co.uk\">copy@strattoncraig.co.uk<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strattoncraig.com\/contact-us\/\">send an enquiry<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After my GCSEs, I spent a week at Stratton Craig for work experience, after hearing about copywriting at my school\u2019s careers fair.
