Edinburgh-based 20/20 Productions, the creative communication, event and digital production agency, has welcomed two students as part of its internship programme.

Katie LaGuardia (20) and Anastasia Vojevodko (25) have both joined the team in temporary roles to learn the ropes of a busy creative business in Edinburgh.

Joining the award-winning agency from North Carolina on a 4-month exchange, Katie is working 2 days with 20/20 Productions while also taking classes at Edinburgh Napier University.

Anastasia, a graphic design student studying at Edinburgh Napier University, has taken up a role in the design team at 20/20 Productions.

Speaking about the two new team members, 20/20 Productions managing director Alastair Scott said: “Working closely with Scottish universities, we are lucky enough to welcome some fantastic individuals to the team every year as part of our internship programme.  Katie and Anastasia have already made their mark on the team.

“As 2018 is the Year of Young People in Scotland, it is a great opportunity for businesses to reflect on how they can help talented young people develop their skills for the future.  That’s exactly what we do at 20/20 Productions, and it is a fantastic experience for both interns and the business.”

Shadowing office manager Emma Nelson, Katie’s experience will focus on the business management aspect of 20/20 Productions while also assisting with implementation of GDPR.

Anastasia’s role in the busy team will involve assisting with design requirements across graphic design, film, event and motion graphics.

Commenting on her opportunity with the company, Anastasia said: “The experience 20/20 Productions will give me will be absolutely invaluable in terms of learning about the real life industry, as well as acquiring new skills as I continue to work on my course.”

Katie added: “Being in an environment where effective communication is vital will likely be very beneficial as I move into the business world. I will also have more hands-on experience working in an office and learning about the daily tasks required to keep a company running successfully.”
