Journalism & Creative Writing student lands internship with local content studio

Journalism & Creative Writing BA(Hons) student Amal Brepotra is about to embark on a summer internship as a copywriter for the Falmouth-based creative agency, Stranger Collective.  

Stranger’s ethos is one that is simple: to help brands harness the power of words at every level – from conveying a brand’s character to bringing in new customers. The agency has worked on everything from big brands like Kodak to local theatre venue Hall for Cornwall. This summer, Amal will be bringing her unique creative flair and passion for storytelling to the table at this local content studio. 

Now at the end of her three years of studying, we chatted with Amal to find out more about what she is most looking forward to in this next chapter of her copywriting journey.  

Can you tell us more about what you’ll be doing at Stranger Collective?  

I'm embarking on a summer copywriting internship where I'll be learning about Stranger Collective's content and brand while also discovering more about the behind-the-scenes of working for an agency. I’ll be working alongside the team to curate written and visual content for their clients – all while gaining a deeper knowledge of strategizing for different brands and successfully unpacking client briefs. 

What are you most looking forward to?  

I can’t wait to gain industry experience and apply my understanding of the things I've learnt in my studies in a real-world setting, whilst also trying things I'd never considered doing before. I’m also looking forward to meeting new and interesting people while developing a wider network to help set me up for life after graduation.  

How have you found your time studying Journalism & Creative Writing at Falmouth?  

Amazing! The course staff have supported my every move since my first year. I've had the most incredible time getting to use all the facilities, having countless opportunities to progress my career and personal interests, and meeting wonderful people from all over. I can’t wait to take the multimedia skills I’ve developed and the confidence I’ve gained from my time on the course into my new role with Stranger Collective.
