Yesterday, Year 12 students from RMS had an enriching and insightful experience with local agency Hunterlodge Advertising, Rickmansworth, as part of the national IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising) Advertising Unlocked 2025 initiative.
This unique opportunity allowed our students to gain hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the fast-paced world of advertising.
The students explored every facet of agency life, gaining a deep insight into key departments, including Strategy, Creative, and Media. The highlight of the day was tackling a real-world creative client brief. Students collaborated to develop and present their own campaign ideas, putting their newfound knowledge to the test.
The best way to learn about the workplace is to get out there and experience it

In a highly competitive final presentation against teams from St Clement Danes School and Rickmansworth School, we are thrilled to announce that the RMS for Girls team was awarded first prize for their outstanding campaign presentation.
A huge well done to all our participants for their brilliant work, and a sincere thank you to Hunterlodge Advertising for hosting such an engaging and inspiring day. This initiative has successfully sparked interest in many of our students, who are now considering marketing and advertising as exciting future career paths.
