Creating a buzz around student talent


Overall B-Hive winners 2010: Ellie Rance, Sarah Mortimer, Mandy Wong, Alex Badau

It was great to attend the B-Hive awards this week, and see a room crammed full with student talent.

As you'll have gathered from our news pages, B-Hive is all about giving the next generation of creative and marketing students a foot in the door by offering them paid work placements in the region's PR, marketing, digital and design agencies. This is the second year that Rewired has supported the B-Hive initiative, developed by Pitch and backed by Marketing Birmingham. We had such a positive experience last year with our placement student Katie White and B-Hive finalist Charlotte Payne that it was a no brainer to take part in the scheme in 2010.

It's fair to say that all of the students in the PR catagory pitched some fantastic campaigns, and they have already put themselves in good stead by getting in front of six of the region's leading agencies. We're really looking forward to welcoming Sarah Mortimer to the team this summer, and wish all the B-Hive 2010 participants and winners all the very best for a bright future.
