About us

Founded in 2009, we are an integrated communications consultancy. We’re a team of 34 people based in Farringdon, London.

We specialise in consultancy, communications and content across a wide range of sectors including financial services, sustainability, transport, education and technology. And we work with brilliant clients – from exciting new entities like the Climate Crisis Advisory Group, to established global brands like eBay. 

For the past eight years we’ve been named one of the best small businesses to work for in the UK by Great Places to Work. We’re proud to live up to our values of independence, integrity, intelligence and imagination. 

About the internship

We run a six-week internship to give people insight into, and experience in, the PR industry. It’s open to anyone with an interest in communications, 18+, regardless of education and experience. 

As an intern, we want you to use your time with us to learn as much as you can about a career in PR. During that time you’ll support our team with planning and delivering top-quality work for our clients, as well as supporting with new business and agency admin as necessary. 

You’ll have a booklet to welcome you to the team and a series of tasks to complete during your time here, which you can take with you as a portfolio when you leave. 

Your week will be split working 4 days a week from our office in Farringdon and the rest from home. You’ll get lots of support from your team as well as a dedicated line manager and buddy. And you’ll get to get stuck into agency life, with fun socials and regular company meetings.
