Company: WPP
WPP is one of the world's most comprehensive marketing communications groups. Collectively, around 102,000 people work for them, in 2,000 offices in 106 countries. Their business covers advertising; media investment management; information, insight and consultancy; public relations and public affairs; branding and identity; healthcare communications; direct, digital, promotion and relationship marketing; and a range of specialist communication services. In other words, for every point of contact a brand might have with a consumer or business audience, one of their companies (each with its own distinctive area of expertise and identity) can help to enhance the experience. They're offering a summer internship programme to attract ethnic minority candidates to the marketing communications industry. The Micro Fellowship is a scaled down version of WPP's highly competitive Fellowship programme. NB: The WPP Micro Fellowship for ethnic minorities is a positive action internship under section 37 of the Race Relations Act 1976. Each successful student will spend three weeks with WPP in July, with a week in each of the three different operating companies. In each rotation they will be supervised by a current or former WPP Fellow. In addition to their hands-on experience in an operating company, interns will be invited to a weekly workshop to learn about other aspects of the industry. We want people who: - Are seriously interested in marketing - Take a rigorous and creative approach to problem-solving - Are intellectually curious - Function well in a flexible, loosely structured work environment Interns will be paid £275 per week plus reasonable travelling expenses.
