2026 Internship Scheme
- Location: London
- Salary: £27,000 (to be reviewed subject to changes in line with the London Living Wage)
- Start date: January 2026
- Internship Length: 6 months
We’re looking for our next cohort of interns to join our 6 month Internship Scheme, starting in January 2026. We look for smart and curious individuals who are willing to get stuck in and who will bring diverse thinking to our work and culture.
To give you a flavour for what we do: This year we have launched a campaign to Strikeout Snakebite with Wellcome Trust, masterminded the KFC x Greggs collaboration, rolled out a standout week at SXSW London and managed to sneak in some 40th anniversary celebrations. Our mission is to continue to do great work and we’re looking forward to you helping us.
Based in London and starting at the end of January 2026, the 6 month Internship Scheme will equip each candidate with the skills and hands-on experience necessary to ensure their communications career gets off to a strong start.
The Internship Scheme includes access to our bespoke Academy Training Programme, hands on experience across Corporate Reputation, Brand and Health and Behaviour change client teams, as well as exposure to some of our specialisms including strategy, social and creative.
The programme will be kickstarted by a two-week training course, where you will be fully immersed into the world of PR, attending training sessions led by our experts in each field, from crisis through to sustainability.
The interns day to day responsibilities once onboarded on to a client might include:
- Researching and compiling background information for client teams
- Supporting media monitoring and tracking articles of interest
- Embracing our digital first approach: fully utilising our technology and AI tools
- Compiling meeting notes, action lists, and call agendas
- Assisting with media sell-ins, including curating media materials (press releases, media lists, etc.).
- Participating in planning and executing PR activities, such as events, photoshoots, and spokespeople engagements.
Outside of the day to day there’s so much to get stuck into alongside the Internship Scheme including our monthly company socials and lending a hand at red carpet events.
