BATH UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP
We’re really proud to be working with Bath University, helping students take their first steps into the industry. For us, it’s all about giving back, sharing what we know, and opening doors for talent starting out.
Through this partnership, we give students hands on experience that goes way beyond the classroom. Our team runs mock interviews to get them ready for real world recruitment, shares insights into agency life and careers in digital marketing, and gives guidance on building key professional skills.
We also offer a 1year placement at Charlie Oscar, where students get to work on real projects, contribute to live campaigns, and learn from the team across the business. It’s a chance to explore the industry, build confidence, and pick up skills that will really help their careers.
This partnership is really meaningful to us, it’s our way of nurturing talent from the ground up and shaping the early careers landscape at Charlie Oscar. For students, it’s a peek into what it’s like to be part of a vibrant, advertising agency, and for us, it’s so rewarding to help guide and inspire the next generation of digital marketers.
OLIVIA'S PLACEMENT YEAR
My placement at Charlie Oscar has been an amazing learning experience. I’ve gained real hands-on exposure to influencer marketing - from running gifting campaigns and managing outreach to tracking performance and supporting affiliate work. Seeing influencers post about brands I’ve worked on has been a real highlight.
I’ve also had the chance to contribute to wider campaigns for brands like itsu and The Ritz Calrton Yacht Collection , which gave me great insight into how different teams collaborate.
The culture here has been a huge part of my growth. For my first office role, Charlie Oscar has set the bar high - the team is supportive, welcoming, and genuinely fun to work with.
Overall, it’s been a hugely confidence-building experience, and I’m excited to keep learning throughout my placement.
