Plan of places I am going to send my work to

I have not yet sent my work to anyone. This is purely because I don't think my portfolio will be at it's strongest until the end of Extended Practice, when all my final work is done. 

I don't want to send out my work a month early for the sake of getting it done for this module, so instead this is my list of people and places I am going to send it to. Some are graphic design studios, some are advertising agencies, some are smaller illustrative studios - whatever they are, they are all going to be people I could potentially work with in the future. AS SOON AS EXTENDED PRACTICE IS DONE, THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

The list includes some of the best agencies in the UK. I don't expect to start this high at all, but I may as well try.

Found off the AMV BBDO website regarding grad schemes - relevant and has made sure I'm not getting the wrong end of the stick about how my work fits in with an advertising agency.

"If you want to be a Creative, the graduate scheme is not the right place to start. Our grad scheme recruits account executives I(who deal with the clients’ business and handle the day to day relationship with the client), junior project managers (who are responsible for the planning, coordination and financial control of a project) and junior strategists (who devise marketing and communications strategies).

Creative recruitment is very different. To become a Creative you’ll need a ‘book’ – a portfolio of advertising ideas. This is how you will be judged, not on your academic qualifications. You’ll need to find a partner to develop your ideas with as you will most likely be hired as a team (art director and copywriter). Then you visit agencies or send them your portfolio / website and if they like what they see they’ll offer you a placement, which is like an apprenticeship / job trial." 

ILLUSTRATORS DON'T NEED A TEAM AND ARE KIND OF SEPERATE FROM THIS SO I'M GOING TO SEND THEM MY STUFF ANYWAY)
