New Edelman grad site launched

Posted Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 6:16pm in Off topic, PR General  | 

My colleague (and mate) Mats has just finished designing the new stand alone UK Edelman grad site. You can find it here or at www.edelmangrads.co.uk. Previously the grad section was incorporated as a single page into the UK Edelman site. This time around it was decided to make it as a more jazzed up funkier individual place for wannabe PR gurus. Great move in my opinion. The first place people (particularly young people) tend to look when checking out a company is the website. And what the old grad page didn’t include was content on the actual grad programme itself including FAQs and former grad profiles like it does now.

Plus it subtly mentions our office’s location which, in my opinion, is a selling point itself. A good work life should be mixed with a good social life and you can’t fault London’s West End for a decent night out. “But where’s the social media/Web 2.0 stuff?” I hear you say. Well that’s in the pipeline. Stay tuned…

Well done to Mats - I think the site is great and will be of real benefit to the grad recruitment scheme. Looking forward to seeing how it develops…

Congrats to Mats the page looks great, really easy to understand and a great advert for the company. It would interest me if I was graduating…only another year to go!

Get your head down and send in your CV… when you’ve finished your degree of course. :)

Useful link. But I note that Edelman remains rather sniffy about hiring PR graduates. Perhaps you’ll help to change their minds on this (you’re in PR Week again today on p26 though the big coup was gained by Weber Shandwick with the photo of all 16 of their new graduate recruits.)

Thanks for the feedback Richard - reallly don’t want to sound sniffy :( we definitely don’t mind what degree our grads have so is there any wording on the site we should change?

Glad you like the site Sam , make sure you apply next year ;)
