Agreed, but I see nothing wrong in taking initiative to develop projects for "made up" brands or "established" ones. I believe this is key for any designer starting out or just looking for change in current projects.If you are doing pharmaceutical stuff, but you feel like you rather be working in sports, just go ahead and design a campaign, packaging, a commercial, website, or whatever you want, just to grab attention from potential clients in that industry. Because if you go to a meeting with (insert sports brand here) and you show your pharmaceutical stuff, chances are they will never hire you.
Line monNom said, make sure you state that is an exercise, and you should be fine. We've all done these in school as an assignment, so I doubt you will find anyone that will tell you not to do it. And if you want more attention, do it for a big established brand, if the work is good, who knows maybe they will notice and bring you on board.
