Career Pathways
Marketing & Press Assistant
Listen to Ben
"...ask questions and go for things, apply for things and ask people for opportunities… build things up because if you pick one thing and you just go for that chances are you might not like it. But if you manage to try lots of different things and to give everything a little bit of a go … then you’re more likely to find something that is gonna develop into a career”
Ben Phillips
Ben is the Marketing & Press Assistant at CFT. He joined Chichester Festival Youth Theatre when he was 12, took part in a few productions, and left at 18 to go to university. He was studying education with the arts, but decided after a year that a degree wasn’t for him.
He got really involved in student theatre and took a show to Edinburgh Fringe, and now he’s back at CFT building his creative skills in the workplace.
