Charlotte Stoel
Senior Account Executive
I first joined Firefly as a student, working part-time in the Paris office while I was doing my degree. It was an invaluable experience and I’d recommend every student do some form of work experience alongside their studies. Everyone at Firefly understood I was there to learn, and wasn’t just an extra pair of hands or someone to make the tea. I was given responsibility from day one, which was daunting at first, but I was always given support and guidance so I never felt completely out of my depth. I was given as much exposure as possible to agency life, had contact with clients and was treated as a full member of the team. Firefly’s diverse client base meant I worked on a range of clients and did everything from compiling thousand-page cutting books to helping organise press events. This well-rounded view of the PR industry helped me make some important decisions after graduation, when I began working on clients full-time. It was an easy decision. I knew I would be working with some of the brightest and most creative people in the industry and that I would receive first-class training. Plus, it’s great fun working here.
John Craske
Account Coordinator
Before joining Firefly, I worked at an online digital marketing company whilst completing my final year in Philosophy. I really enjoyed working on the digital side of marketing, however I always wanted to be more involved in the creative side, so I could improve my writing skills. When I was first interviewed for the job at Firefly, I instantly knew that I wanted to be part of the team. Everyone was really warm and friendly, which is at the heart of the culture and what sets the company apart from other places I’ve worked at. I have definitely faced challenges and have been pushed out my comfort zone, but with the support of the team I have been able to rise to the challenges. The great thing about Firefly is that everyone, no matter what level, gets to input their ideas into campaigns. Friday late afternoon wine time is also a great perk! I can truly say that I enjoy everyday at Firefly, the day goes past in a quick flash, but I leave feeling satisfied and appreciated.
Volker Schmidt
Account Executive
After doing a number of internships at different companies during my studies, I realised my passion was PR. I started my professional career at Firefly Munich in September 2009 and from the first day I felt that I was not only doing the right job, but I was also working for the right agency. At Firefly every day is different, it’s always a challenge but also exciting. I was given responsibility from day one and was never lacking guidance or support, so I never felt overstretched. I especially like the international environment, the creative atmosphere, my colleagues who all come with such a great team spirit and our amazing clients. There are two major aspects as to why I really appreciate being a Firefly: No matter what level, everyone can put forward their ideas and a well-balanced work life balance is not only a feel-good phrase. I thoroughly enjoy working here and can recommend this agency to potential clients as well as to potential applicants!
