The Role
I enjoyed promoting Deloitte on campus at Strathclyde very much as there are many projects and careers events to get involved with.
Very - On-Campus Promotions prepared a briefing day with exclusive training and kept us updated throughout the year at our respective universities.
Great updates and regular communication from my supervisor who would always respond promptly to any concerns I had.
As the workload was spread out over the academic year, I never felt swamped.
On my campus, I was the only brand representative for Deloitte, and therefore, I was given a lot of responsibility for my projects.
Promoting the company that I am hoping to work with after graduation allowed me to develop the skills and knowledge that will be invaluable for my future career.
The Company
Although I was not in the On-Campus Promotion office, communication from the team was always laid back and friendly.
The brand ambassador programme is very well structured, catered to the client company and delegated effectively from the supervisor to the ambassadors.
On-Campus Promotions invested heavily into the project - briefing day with tailored training; travel expenses; competitive salary and bonus; and entrusted brand ambassadors with iPods with unique software for the campaign.

Working from home
Although it does not look likely that I will work for On-Campus Promotions, I may have a place with the client company (Deloitte) after graduation.
The Culture
On the briefing day there was ample opportunity to get to know the rest of the brand ambassadors from different universities (I believe this will be the same on the forthcoming debrief day)
I lived at home in Glasgow and living costs are relatively cheap.
Glasgow (and particularly my university, Strathclyde) has a great nightlife with student events almost every night of the week.
As this was a very campaign and individual campaign on each brand ambassador's campus, there was little activities - however, meeting different societies and clubs throughout the campaign allowed me to get involved with other activities and events.
