Placement Opportunities
Each
year current students and graduates start looking for placement opportunities
to gain themselves some essential experience or even to hopefully start their
new career path. And some people can find this stressful, but it doesn't have to be as hard as it seems.
There
are a lot of companies out there that do start to hire at the beginning of the
year, and while some may be hard to get into as they already require experience
and good education, there are some that are always open to offering placement
opportunities to graduates, students and the younger generation.
That
is where skignz comes along.

All year round skignz is always offering placement opportunities to students and graduates. That is one of the most important aspects about skignz itself as a company. skignz believes that everyone should be treated equally and that by allowing the opportunity to be available to everyone, we are providing that equality.

skignz
is currently actively looking at the moment to hire. So any graduates or
students who are currently looking for work experience please feel free to
contact skignz.
Jeff Bramfitt came to join the skignz team this year on a 3 month placement with the possibility of keeping on as full time employment. Here is a little brief on himself:
“I
trained initially as a Graphic Designer then spent over 20 years as a computer
graphics artist at legendary games company Psygnosis/Sony Studio Liverpool,
until recession hit and Sony started downsizing drastically. Sadly, the
studio ultimately closed as a result. In my time there I had the pleasure
of contributing as a 2D and 3D Artist on over 30 titles, including classic
Playstation franchises Wipeout and Formula 1.
More
recently, I decided to update my skills and improve my career options by doing
a Degree in Web & Multimedia Design, graduating with a 2:1 in 2014. I
hope my unique combination of recent Web Design development combined with my
C.G. production experience will help me move forward in a rapidly changing
landscape.
I
have an unhealthy habit of purchasing large dilapidated old houses and lovingly
restoring them, which is the closest I come to having a hobby. At the moment
(the last 4 years) all my spare time is spent bringing an early Victorian town
house on Hartlepool's historic seafront back to it's former glory.”
skignz will be looking at expanding the team as the year goes on as you can read about our 2015 plans in skignz year ahead blog post. So do feel free to apply if you are interested or contact us personally to see what vacancies are available.

2015: The Year of the skignz ;-)
After a great and successful 2014, skignz now looks to what we have to aim for in the first half of 2015. Through a lot of opportunities being provided in 2014 for skignz.
January has already begun at a hectic pace. Setting us up ready to embark and progress onto fulfilling those opportunities, plus more when they come along.
We decided to have a small outlook on what the first half of 2015 will bring us and hopefully be able to fulfil our New Year’s resolutions!
The very beginning of 2015 sees skignz with a new intern who has applied to gain some work experience alongside studying at Teesside University to help their career get started.
Jeff Bramfitt is a Digital & Graphic Designer who recently completed his studies at Teesside University and was looking for some invaluable work experience to enhance his skills and help take the next steps in his career. This is also an interesting experience for skignz as we love taking on new members and getting fresh ideas and minds to the company.
Also in the first month of 2015 we have continued working on a project, but not one we can divulge at this moment but more of that when we can! However the project will be big and very exciting and we hope to share some examples of the fantastic work we will have embarked upon over the coming months.
The first quarter of 2015 has so far began in earnest with follow up on all the opportunities skignz was presented with in last year. Such as our visit to Boston, MA to develop relationships with a number of global brands and some truly awesome people.
Attending Most Contagious in London, allowed skignz to meet a lot of companies and brands from around the world and quite a few were very interested in the skignz technology and looking at how they can work with us going forward.
The few months will also see skignz developing more relationships and projects with companies across Europe & The Middle East, whilst we increase our activity in the US both on the East & West coasts from our office in Las Vegas, NV.
Moving onto the subject of offices, we will be announcing soon our new offices and later in the summer we are aiming to open one more office somewhere within the UK.
As the projects start to increase we will be requiring more staff to join skignz as we will aim to keep the quality of service at a very high level, but we aim to continue our significant work on R&D.
We pride ourselves in always offering a range of opportunities at skignz for Internships & Work Experience.
We love nothing more than people who are really keen to learn and want to make progress in their careers being able to come and join the skignz team just like our latest intern has last month.
We are actively looking for new people to join our expanding team. So if you, or someone you know might be interested, then please get in touch.
We have an incredible amount of activity planned for 2015 and having already presented/pitched four different global brands in January alone, above are just a few of the New Year’s resolutions we hope to keep within the first half of 2015. Wish us luck and keep an eye out to see if we fulfil these and for further announcements on our client and projects wins.
Happy New Year to everyone! lets make 2015 the year of the skignz ;-)

Most Contagious 2014
To round last year off, skignz had the chance to exhibit at one of the most exclusive gatherings of the year - Most Contagious.
This was a great opportunity to present and demonstrate our technology to leading agencies & brands companies from all around the world attending Most Contagious.
Most Contagious is an annual, uniquely curated innovation event in London staged by Contagious.
Most Contagious celebrates the biggest innovations and analyses the most impactful marketing from the year to decipher what influence these will have on the immediate future for brands and advertising.
Contagious helps brands and advertising agencies understand and adapt to shifts in marketing, consumer culture and technology.
The team at skignz were very grateful that we were allowed and provided with the opportunity to not only present our technology at the event, but to also learn about other great companies who had invested in their own technology alongside a range of other new companies.
Most of which were featured in their 'Small But Perfectly Formed' section over the previous 12 months.
Besides being given the opportunity to exhibit, skignz also got the chance to listen to some great leaders and speakers at the event and allow them to provide us with some great inspiration.
Listening to each speaker was great for skignz, however one thing we noticed along the way from many speakers was that the current technology they were explaining to the audience could have been skignz (in a different placed sense).
See these two images to the right.... essentially skignz tech! These images were used in different presentations by the speakers
However at the event each year is the Small But Perfectly Formed companies whereby Contagious has celebrated seven small companies hoping to change the world.
skignz got to meet a few of these at the event itself and was great to find out how they were doing with their company and what their future plans looked like.
skignz hopes that we could featured in Contagious's SBPF throughout the coming year and become one of those companies chosen in the short list for Most Contagious 2015.
The whole day of the event itself was a truly amazing experience to have. Not only was it Most Contagious 10th Anniversary, it was an exceptional day to meet, discuss and learn about Most Contagious themselves and everyone else there.
Meeting so many worldwide companies and brands was very exciting for us, so we hoped to impress them with the skignz technology.
Many people who came and learnt about the skignz technology and got to see it demonstrated were very impressed and left some great comments;
- “skignz is the most exciting thing I have seen all day”
- “This could be the Internet in the sky”
- “Seeing the live demonstration has just blew my mind… I need time to think of what great opportunities lie for skignz”
- “The possibilities are endless”
The above were just a few comments from people attending Most Contagious and took the effort to come and tell us. The feedback that we received was truly inspirational as it gave us so much hope for the future and a lot of exciting opportunities to look forward to with a lot of brands.
Meeting people from Australia, Brazil, Ireland and many other places just goes to show how much of a great event Most Contagious really is and what it offers to all brands and companies around the world.
From this, skignz has begun a lot of relationships with people and we will be working together providing some great work in the future.
The skignz team had a truly awesome time and would like to give a big thank you to the Most Contagious team and directors for allowing us the opportunity to attend this event and meet some truly exceptional people.
We would also like to thank the people and brands we met that gave us exceptional feedback to put us in a bright light for future developments.
