A Level Media Visit to Warners
A-Level Media students recently visited Warners PLC in Bourne, a major-local print publishing and marketing company, to gain insight into real-world media production.
Students were given a guided tour of the site and introduced to the company’s various divisions, including editorial, design, marketing and digital services. They observed creative teams at work and learned how different departments collaborate to produce print and promotional materials.
The group then attended a sit-down presentation where staff outlined the company’s workflow, current industry trends, and the importance of audience data.
This was followed by a careers talk that highlighted roles in publishing, marketing, and print.
The visit concluded with a (loud) tour of the print factory, allowing students to see the full production process from concept to finished product.
Overall, the trip provided valuable industry insight, strengthened students’ understanding of media production and even some potential employment opportunities.
