Could You Be a WPP Fellow?
Posted in: UncategorizedSome people call it the “golden ticket” to a successful ad career: a three-year WPP marketing fellowship that’s harder to get into than Harvard. Actually, that’s not a fair comparison. Only nine applicants out of 2,000 made WPP’s annual cut last month. That’s an acceptance rate around 0.5%, compared to Harvard’s 5.8%.
The multitalented fellows include an Olympic silver medalist in fencing and a former professional bagpipe player. Some have industry experience, while for others the fellowship is a first job or a career change. A quantum physicist and a biochemist were just turned away.
Fellows from around the world spend three years at WPP agencies in three disciplines, from media buying to planning to branding and beyond, sometimes on three continents. All are paired with influential mentors, sometimes even WPP CEO Martin Sorrell.
