15/07/2010  |  White Hat Media Internship Programme

White Hat Media are currently involved in offering internship programmes giving opportunities to gain experience in the digital industry. Candidates derive real benefits from the internship process by learning professional skills in the workplace. Interns bring fresh ideas and energy into White Hat Media’s working environment. Already this summer we have had four placements in the office all taking part in projects to further their skills in search marketing, social media and web development.  

Steph from Bournemouth University studying a degree in Marketing is currently interning with us for three months. She is helping out with White Hat Media’s own marketing campaign by contributing to blog posts, news articles and press release whilst also updating our social media channels with relevant content. 

White Hat Media is a board member of Wired Sussex, and our most recent postgraduate intern Matt from Brighton University is taking place in their Sussex Internship Programme. With a degree in Digital Media Design, Matt is working predominantly with our web development team for clients such as the Laptop Hut.

The Wired Sussex Internship Programme offers talented graduates not only a placement in local digital companies but also monetary support – a rarity in schemes of this nature. One of our employees at White Hat Media started working as an intern last year on the Sussex Internship Programme and has since designed sites for the likes of Toshiba. Internship programmes provide ambitious and creative people their first foot in the proverbial door, give support from top industry professionals and are invaluable as the initial stepping stone of their future career path.

More so, we White Hat Media have been offering week work experience opportunities. Recently two school students from Southern College and Northease Manor have completed a week’s work experience at White Hat Media. With both school students interested in having a career within the digital sector, the work experience gave them a chance for the student to become involved with projects for high profile clients like the Gym Group and Metrodome. The projects gave the students an insight into working life and a taster of what working in the digital media industry is really like.

20/04/2010  |   Chuck the Eco Duck enlists White Hat Media for online campaign to promote debut children's TV series

"Chuck the Eco Duck", a new animated series aimed at pre-school children, is launching an online campaign to promote its TV debut later this year.

Search and social media specialist White Hat Media has been appointed to create a website that will be the hub of all promotional activity surrounding the first thirteen-part series, as well as an entertainment and educational resource for children, parents and teachers.

The character Chuck, an ecologically minded duck mindful of his carbon web-print, was created to entertain children and make them aware of environmental issues and citizenship. A number of big names are behind the series – Harry Potter actress Miranda Richardson voiced the promotional DVD and will feature on the website, while Prime Focus, one of the UK's largest production houses involved in designing special effects for Avatar and Twilight has animated the Chuck TV episodes.  

Chuck the Eco Duck started life as an audio series commissioned for radio. Fourteen ten minute episodes aired last year on Sony Award-winning DAB radio station Fun Kids Radio.

"Online marketing is the most effective promotional medium for us and we'll be directing everyone to the site," said Caroline Phillips, Marketing Director at Ultra Green, which produces Chuck the Eco Duck. "We appointed White Hat Media because we are confident the company understands the requirements of a site targeting multiple audiences. We wanted to make sure that children, parents, teachers and the media all find Chuck's website relevant and useful. The website also gives us the flexibility we need to showcase Chuck's multi-platform materials; offering audio stories, video episodes and online games. Initially we'll have a variety of free downloadable items including activity sheets, podcasts and colouring books."

Chuck the Eco Duck's website will host specific areas for education, games and the pre-school age group.

"The second stage of the project will see an e-commerce function added to the site, allowing Ultra Green to sell Chuck the Eco Duck merchandise online," said Jeremy Spiller, MD of White Hat Media. "We'll continually be updating the website with new features, driving traffic and creating an online buzz in the run up to the launch of the TV series."
