Ruben is a highly competent, hardworking, and friendly individual and it was a pleasure to line manage him and work together during his internship at Astley Media. He excelled at every task I set him and really took the time to fully research and understand the briefs with a careful eye for detail, which I always appreciated. The standard of his work is very high, especially his copy-writing abilities, and he clearly has a natural flair for marketing. I am confident he will make a fantastic marketer who has a bright future in front of him and wish him all the best in his endeavours.

Ruben is a very skilled producer and artist who is great fun to work with.

      • As part of university module The Artist: Product and Persona, I networked to secure a one-week placement with pioneering music producer Brian Eno, assisting him in his studio in Notting Hill. Activities included the testing of audio equipment, organising his annual industry Christmas party and an impromptu songwriting session which led to the release of a political song on Neil Gaiman’s YouTube channel in the lead-up to the 2019 general election. • As a result of this, became a Production Assistant for ambient duo Snow Palms. Tasks involved arranging & assisting in recording sessions at Islington’s Tramways studio, editing audio and later progressing to producing a creative-thinking podcast called Play in the System.
