d) How much of a threat is citizen journalism to major media outlets?
e) Social Media – threat or opportunity to global brands?

Short-listed applicants will be invited to a “Make Me Your Grad” day - a day of interviews, discussion, initiative tests, meetings and presentations. You’ll also get a chance to meet our 2009 intake of graduates who will give you an insight into the real world of working at one of the UK and Middle East’s most exciting communications companies.
Following the day, a number of graduates will be selected. We may have opportunities in Spring 2010 for those who have already graduated, as well as a main intake in Sumer 2010.

London office
“I am now an account director at Four having started out as a graduate trainee in 2003.
I specialise in the travel and tourism sector but have worked across property, lifestyle and accountancy clients in my time at Four. My current clients include Etihad Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, Nakheel, Celtic Manor and Barclaycard.
I enjoy the range and variety of projects I get to work on and the often unique, sometimes amusing, never dull challenges that come my way. People are the best part of my job. And working across different countries, time zones and cultures is an extraordinary and ongoing education. I particularly love being able to work with our clients in the Gulf.”
