This week’s FUTURES Friday Seminar featured alumnus Tim Phedon (Shenstone 2024-2011), who returned to share insights from his dynamic career in PR, publicity, and marketing. Tim, currently working as an Account Publicity Manager and Marketing Creative at Gung Ho Media Agency, spoke engagingly about his educational background, career journey, and current role.

He offered valuable reflections on what he wished he’d known earlier in his career and shared practical advice for students considering similar paths. A highlight of the session was a vibrant video showcasing the work and culture at Gung Ho, which captured the audience’s attention.

The seminar was attended by over 30 pupils, ranging from Thirds to Upper Sixth, all keen to learn from Tim’s experience and enthusiasm.Our FUTURES team works hard to produce a varied programme of FUTURES Friday Seminars, designed to appeal to a broad range of pupils. We have a programme of FUTURES Friday Seminars, and so if you are interested in taking part, Mrs Chillcott would be grateful to hear from you: ChillcottR@SolSch.org.uk. There is no need to be an experienced public speaker, or particularly senior in your organisation, as what we are looking for is a taster of ‘real life’ within various sectors.
