A marketing agency has taken on three new recruits – following a surge in new client appointments and the success of previous placement and graduate schemes.

Nathan Prout, Laura Nicoll and Oliver Schofield have joined Birstall-based Fantastic Media.

Ms Nicholl, a marketing student from Leeds Beckett University, joins the client services team as junior account executive. During her 52-week placement, she will support the client services team on everyday activities and work on a range of projects for key clients to gain hands-on experience within the marketing industry.

Mr Schofield, an advertising and media graduate from Newcastle University, also joins the client services team while Mr Prout, who is studying interactive media at Huddersfield University, joins the studio team as a multimedia placement. He will be responsible for working closely with the design and client services team to deliver high quality email marketing, design work and a variety of print jobs.
