MARY’S OFF DOWN UNDER!

We are sad to say today is the last day for our excellent intern Mary Oluwawo, who has been with us since the beginning of the year.

City University student Mary, 20, impressed the First Features team with her enthusiasm and determination and managed, in her short time, to land a feature in The Mirror, which you can read here http://www.mirror.co.uk/life-style/kids-and-family/2011/01/13/keeping-mum-when-s-the-right-time-to-go-public-about-being-pregnant-115875-22844393/

Mary, due to start an internship in Australia next month, says:

“Being at First Features was the best internship I have ever had! I learnt so many things in such a short space of time.

“The first day I was really nervous because I didn’t know what was expected.

“It seemed like a lot of work but Katy threw me right in the deep end. From day one I was writing, editing articles and interviewing people. It was very challenging but I was always given positive criticism. If I could sum up my whole experience in just six words I would say: challenging, exciting, fast-paced, rewarding, inspiring and 1000% worthwhile!” 

We’re always looking for bright journalism students to join our team so if you’re interested in a two-week internship in a leading features agency, write to Katy Weitz at info@firstfeatures.co.uk

We Love Each Other – We Just Don’t Live Together

We are delighted at our most recent feature that came out in the Mirror today, looking at the growing phenomenon of couples that are in long-term loving relationships but don’t live together. With 1.1 million Brits making the conscious decision not to live with their partners, we told the stories of three couples who have opted out of shared living. Whether for financial reasons, distance or the need for space all our couples are happy living apart and wanted to share their relationships with the nation. 

We spoke to Natalie, one half of an independent partnership who said: “It was a fantastic oportunity to share our lifestyle and also to see other couples living in the same way”. She was positive about her experience working with First Features, “It was great and just so easy,” she said.

If you are defying ordinary relationship conventions, we would love to hear from you, please get in touch and let us hear all about it!
