We’re delighted to announce that our Account Manager, Lucia Sargeant, is now RKH’s Education Ambassador! She’s going to connect us with the next generation of professionals at schools and colleges and Universities around Leicester, and she’s the perfect person for the role.
At RKH, we’re big on encouraging the new wave of creatives and advertising professionals to look for careers in our industry, and engaging with Leicester and Leicestershire students is key to doing just that.
Over the last 12 months, we’ve worked with more than 250 students across workshops and lectures around Leicestershire, including a lecture for 150 Design and Criminology students about defining strategy for ad campaigns based on audience insights, developing creative ideas and choosing the right media channels.
In October 2022, as part of our membership of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, we participated in Advertising Unlocked and opened our doors to students from Lancaster Academy for workshops on creativity and advertising.
I remember how stressful it was when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my degree, and I think it’s so important that the next generation are aware of all the available options as they head into the next stage of their lives.

Our next step
Recently, we internally advertised for a new position here at RKH: our Education Ambassador. Open to everyone at the agency, this is a voluntary position that is all about inspiring the next generation and helping to shape the future of RKH and the young people in our community. We want to show students in school, college and university the many avenues to a career in the creative industry, and we need someone to lead the way.
Lucia Sargeant, our Account Manager, jumped at the chance, and she’s now our Education Ambassador! Here’s what she had to say.
What made you apply for the role?
As someone with a passion for education, and someone who loves to be organised, I was very keen to take up the role of RKH’s Education Ambassador. I’ve worked with a lot of different schools around Leicestershire in my career, building a rapport and positive relationships with each one, and this is going to really help me hit the ground running.
I remember how stressful it was when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my degree, and I think it’s so important that the next generation are aware of all the available options as they head into the next stage of their lives. It’s a world full of opportunities, but there’s also so much right on our doorstep; they need to know about it all!
What are you most excited about within the role?
I’m really excited to get involved with different schools, colleges and universities, working with my RKH colleagues to show the careers that our industry - and our agency - has to offer. From workshops to sharing all the cool work we do across our socials, we’re going to build a great relationship with the next generation and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in!
