Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As a Creative Intern, I split my time between producing promos for EMEA channels and overseeing production for campaigns in South Africa. I spent six months on Universal TV before transitioning to Studio Universal. My responsibilities included scheduling voiceover sessions, booking audio mixes and exports, and managing the post-production process. Creatively, I scripted, edited, and added graphics for promos ranging from 15 to 60 seconds, ensuring each aligned with the brand’s identity and delivered strong on-air impact.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of responsibility, I was in charge of the production for Studio Universal for the first 6 month and Universal tv for the final 6 months, I saw the full process of On-Air promos from conception to completion and final delivery. I was also responsible for cutting promos that effectively marketed the films / TV shows being aired on the EMEA channels, while also maintaining the brand identity of those channels.

During my placement, I’ve developed a wide range of skills, both practical and creative. I’ve improved my organisation, time management, and ability to work to tight deadlines.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The team had a very sociable and welcoming culture, and I felt comfortable and included from the start. The intern cohort has also been great fun. Everyone is friendly, and we’ve taken part in lots of social events together.
