this should probably go in another section of the forum but i'm putting it here where more people will see. does anyone have any contacts or people they know who work at festival republic? i've been trying to get a work placement/internship with them for a few years now and the only means of contact i have is the general enquiries email address from the FR website to which i just get a reply saying they will keep my cv on file. i take it this is probably just a receptionist or something that replies to these emails and wouldn't actually be able to help me out.

if anyone does and is willing to help me out, PM me! i don't even know if they offer internships or placements but some sort of contact with someone that isnt just info@festivalrepublic.com would be great

thanks

I'm not sure people will be too keen on handing people's email addresses out willy nilly - I know I'm not. It's mainly about who you know, unfortunately! Sorry if it sounds harsh but it's a shitty business at times and people get very snotty, especially if their contact details are being given out without their consent.

Im guessing you work for FR then, considering you dragged up a 5 month old thread

michael.cook@festivalrepublic.com would be my guess.
