They're not hiring - but I got an interview

After sending emails and introducing myself to countless companies I got an email from a very big PR agency (who I'd love to work for) saying that they are not hiring at the moment, but I look interesting and they'd like to meet me with a view for a future employment.

I really want to make an impression. I'm guessing they do this kind of thing usually (don't they?) and I'm wondering, what is the best way to show them they should really think of me when they start hiring?

It's such a big and interesting company and I'd be even willing to work for free for them for a bit to show my skills - I'm not sure if I should try telling them this?

Any advice?

    I've just posted a thread on interview tips, have a look at it and read it all.
    Also do your research on the company.

    Don't offer to work for free until the last possible point, i.e. when they say they will be in touch when a role becomes vacant? Mention you would be happy to work on an internship basis if that would be in the forseeable future?
