SAE Content agency
Make Content, Money & Build Your Portfolio.
The SAE Content Agency is your chance to stop waiting for “real experience” and start building it now, creating real content for SAE, working with an actual marketing team, and getting paid for what you make.
From shoots, copy to reels, you can expand your portfolio with work that gets seen and proves what you can do.
Build a Portfolio While You Study
Why was this created?
One of our core marketing visions is to have as much content as possible on our website and social channels created by students, helping to showcase real talent and inspire the next generation.
How does it work?
You’ll get a clear brief, guidance when you need it, and the creative freedom to bring it to life your way. Each project builds skills, confidence, and experience that open doors to freelance work, future projects, and possibly even a role with SAE in the future.
What happens when your work goes live?
When your work goes live, it can reach more than 500,000 users through our website and social media. You will be credited on the website, shouted out on our social channels, and featured on our website.
