From 25 July to the end of August, up to 25 summer interns will take part in a five week one-on-one personal ‘enlightenment’ and tutoring programme within Saatchis' Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou offices, respectively, to eat, travel and head meetings as bonafide creatives. They will attend clients’ appointments and meet with agencys heads throughout.
The agency will then choose the ‘top gun’, and recruit him or her officially. Justin Billingsley, chairman and regional CEO of Saatchi Greater China says the winner of the internship programme will also have the chance to become the China boss of any office within the Saatchi China network for one day.
"Only three things matter in our business: talent, talent and talent. We're growing fast, we're hiring at all levels - and we are particularly interested in the smart, driven, young, creative talent in China that can join us and grow with us so we can teach and learn from each other," he said. "Many agencies take interns. But we take it very seriously. You will work on real clients, you will partner with senior mentors, not make the tea," he promised aspiring creatives.
To go with the unique programme, the agency has produced a unique campaign to create buzz among potential recruits. All the bosses eligible to be 'replaced' for a day, have formally offered their chair through a series of print ads.
