After contacting numerous studios the use of personalised emails has worked well although with limited success in relation to larger studios/agencies. Creating a personalised pitch for Gorilla worked well as it received a positive response and also seemed to make a good impression. This approach is something I plan to use moving forward when looking for a junior designer role. In addition, sending elements of my personal branding explaining more about myself, or producing work inspired by the studio may be another avenue, as sending something physical may have a more lasting impact. Overall personalising the emails and discussing more about myself and what I can offer rather than focusing solely on what they can do for me worked well as it showed confidence and interest rather than looking like a mass email. Furthermore the use of hunter.io was very helpful as it discovered emails I wouldn't have had access to before, this also helped when sending emails as I could send an email directly to the person I wanted to talk to rather than the general enquires team.
