Aberdeen-based video production and marketing agency Farsight is pleased to welcome Callum Simpson, a placement student from Robert Gordon University (RGU), to the team.
As part of his placement, Callum will be working on video production, editing, and client-driven creative projects, gaining real-world experience that will help shape his career in the media industry.
Farsight’s founder, Michael Silva, emphasised the company’s commitment to supporting emerging talent within the creative industries: "At Farsight, we know that talent isn’t just found - it’s developed. Supporting students like Callum isn’t just about giving back; it’s about strengthening the future of the creative industry. By working alongside professionals, students gain the skills, confidence, and industry insight that can’t be taught in a classroom. The more we bridge the gap between education and business, the stronger our industry becomes."
Callum’s placement will see him working on both client and internal projects, from video editing and content creation to hands-on marketing campaigns, allowing him to develop his technical expertise while gaining a deeper understanding of the business side of creative media.
Callum shared his enthusiasm about joining the team: “Working with Farsight this year has already been invaluable to developing my skills and experience needed in the creative industries. While I’ve learned a lot from my classes, my placement is elevating my learning to the next level. As a student, it can be hard to envision life after graduation, but since joining Farsight, a career in this industry finally feels real and much more achievable.”
With Farsight continuing to grow, this addition reinforces the agency’s ability to take on new and exciting projects, while also supporting the next generation of creatives in Aberdeen. By working with institutions like RGU, the company is helping to bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring students gain experience that makes a real impact.
