Edelman’s Christmas party
  Last week was the Edelman Christmas Party and in the interest of being fiscal in these turbulent economic times, we kept it in our offices in Victoria. However, this didn’t mean people gathering around their desks, having a glass of wine. The theme this year was American Prom – something light-hearted...
Down to the nitty gritty
Right, so you’ve heard all about the perks of working at Edelman, the swanky new building, the glamorous events, the free booze… now let’s talk work. Yes, that little talked about part of the job. Once the excitement of learning we had made it onto the graduate scheme began to settle, ‘first...
A very pink Halloween
Edelman Wearing It Pink What springs to mind when people mention the 31st of October? For most of you I’m guessing it’s perhaps the orange of a pumpkin, vampire teeth or a favourite ghoulish costume, not necessarily pink cakes, clothes and some charity fun. Over the last few weeks we have all...
PR and all its perks…
Having been here nearly a full eight weeks, I’ve already managed to sample some of the finer things in life, courtsey of my new employer. Friday’s five o’clock free drinks and food along with the occasional free lunch have all become events rarely missed by any of us grads. Needless to say, Edelman...
The Science of Sherry
When people think of PR they often end up with the myth of playing with celebrities at swanky events in posh venues. Having done work experience at a number of agencies prior to starting at Edelman I had come to realise that this was certainly not the case and that there was much more to it than that. So...
Wearing It Pink
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and on the 31st October, Edelman London will be dressing in pink for the occasion. Edelman has participated for the past three years and this year the grads are hoping to make it bigger and better than ever. Under the guise of Edelman Freetime, the graduates have...

My First Event Opportunity
Well a new set of graduates heralds a new set of insights into the life of an Edelman grad. We’ve been at Edelman for nearly 6 weeks and are now coming to the end of our second rotation; I’m in the Strategic Media Unit at the moment. Next week sees my move to Public Affairs, a department that I am...
The Budget Breakdown
So, we’re all settled in our departments and have been for just over a month. I’m in Public Affairs and yesterday’s Budget provided me with a taste of the manic nature of politics. Edelman’s analysis, available here, was produced and sent out yesterday afternoon in double quick...
Nearing the end.
So, we’re almost at the end of our rotations and I can barely believe it how quickly time has flown. It feels like only yesterday that we were sat in reception, waiting to greet HR and trying to make a good impression on everyone who walked past. Five months later, we’re no longer the newest...
