In 2022 we tragically lost one of our own - Laz Simons.

Laz was a true creative and a well-loved part of the Ogilvy PR family. Laz was introduced to the world of commercial creativity via an unconventional pathway, leaping from muso and rapper to copywriting creative. And his work was all the richer for this unique backstory.

In his memory, we created the Laz Simons Creative Career Cadetship, a paid immersive learning position in the Ogilvy Creative Team for a 12-week period.

Now in its second year, this opportunity is open to anyone with a unique backstory who wants a career in creative communications but hasn’t got a degree, hasn't undertaken an industry internship or has little or no experience.
