The E! graduate scheme – the perfect start to a successful career

February 8th, 2011 by Kat

Eulogy! – The exclamation mark says it all.  It’s that good.  When I turned up for the grad day one sunny Thursday morning I never dreamt that seven months later I’d be in the position I am now – in a job that I love with some of the most fun, inspiring and downright fantastic people I could ever imagine working with.  That’s the thing about Eulogy!, you can’t fail to make friends, have a laugh and ultimately end up in the pub every Friday!

Undoubtedly one of the greatest things about the grad scheme is the level of responsibility you’re given from the off.  It’s not like that internship you did last summer or those two weeks work experience when you were given the rubbish tasks nobody else could be bothered with.  At E! you’re a valued member of the team from day one.  It may sound daunting, but everyone’s so supportive and understanding that you never feel like you’re on your own.

Eulogy! invests a lot of time and energy in its graduates through training schemes, not only from your peers in the first few weeks, but through official programs throughout your E! career.  It’s that which makes everyone here so switched on, determined and great at what they do.

Another thing about Eulogy!: you’ll never have a dull day.  Yes, it can be tiring and frustrating at times, just like any other job, but you get to work on such an array of clients doing such exciting tasks that you can never tell how the rest of your day’s going to pan out, let alone the rest of the week.

The overwhelming things that strike me about the grad scheme are the opportunities, trust and support you’re given from day one.  Quite simply, I can’t imagine starting my career in PR – or continuing it for that matter – anywhere else.

Basking in the love of my colleagues

February 4th, 2011 by Phil

I’ve been at Eulogy! for ever such a long time, man and boy (and once woman, but we won’t go into that now), and one of the many things that has kept me here has been the people that I work with.

Everyone knows colleagues are important; you’d have to be a pretty cold sort of person to spend the majority of your waking life in the company of people you didn’t enjoy. And even if you’re not best mates with every single one of them, being able to pull together in a crisis, share biscuits at the 3pm afternoon lull, or talk about last night’s TV round the proverbial water cooler, all help to make Mondays to Fridays that little bit more comfortable.

At Eulogy!, and I’m sure the same can be said by many other agencies, we pride ourselves on the culture we’ve created. Even after the changes (in size, staff and structure) I’ve witnessed over the last nine years, our culture has remained intact, and continues to be something that we eulogise about to prospects, clients and peers alike.

And even today; a day when I’ve been left smarting by a particularly well orchestrated ‘let’s all unfollow Phil on Twitter because he’s about to hit 100 followers’ campaign by my (bastard) colleagues, I still love working here. It really is that good.

That or I’m a sadist (which if you’d seen the size of the high heels I was wearing, you’d fully believe).

Eulogy! is one of the best PR agencies to work for

May 21st, 2010 by Melanie

Great news from Eulogy! Towers today. The PR Week ‘Best Places to Work‘ list has just been released, and Eulogy! scored a Silver.  Out of 120 entries, there were only two gold awards, four silver and four bronze.  Naturally, we’re beyond chuffed.

You can read our entry on why Eulogy is one of the best PR agencies to work for, but if I’m tooting our horn, I’d say it’s probably all about the Christmas party. They’re pretty much legendary:

It’s not the winning that counts, it’s the taking part

December 18th, 2009 by Anthony

Eulogy! has won 7 awards so far this year. By the end of November we had 3 accolades for best campaign, 2 agency of the year awards and another 2 for agency individuals.

Sounds good doesn’t it?  Yes, our email footer is ridiculed for being so long and our clients mock us for showing off about it again, but I refuse to apologise. Industry recognition is important!

But the taking part in the awards process can have just as much impact. For example:

  1. Morale. Enter a campaign into an award and team morale goes through the roof. Even if you didn’t work on the campaign, you get a buzz knowing you work among award-winners, award-winning contenders even
  2. Recruitment. Other people see you at the award ceremony; they see you shortlisted in the trade magazines; they visit your website, and see the campaigns and awards there, too. Hello direct job application, goodbye recruitment fees.
  3. Reputation – we’re in the business of it, after all. The award circuit is a tight one. Judges talk and they usually judge several different awards throughout the year. When your name pops up again and again, people get thinking and talking.

Despite the ridicule about our signatures, I believe our clients enjoy the awards as much as we do – especially if it’s their campaign that wins. Saying, “this campaign, that we worked on together, is worthy of an award” is great for client retention.

But let’s get down to the hard facts. A client recently won an agency of the year award. Being the technical sort they were quick to look at the uplift on their website. In just two hours they’d had 172 visits, the average time on the site increased to more than two minutes, average page consumption was four.  In the latter part of this year the Eulogy! website has seen similar results. Visitors are up 20%, page views are up 15% and time on site is up 10%. We’ve not won every award we’ve entered, and sure there are peaks in website performance when we do, but the overarching effect of entering any award is a positive one.
