If you're savvy enough to make it through our recruitment process, the first 6 months will have you stationed in our intern pen, during which you'll be expected to learn the ropes from the ground up - starting with answering the phone.

If you pass the final exam, you'll be rewarded with spending the next 6 months completing an apprenticeship designed to immerse you in the world of digital work, whether it be in paid media, search engine optimisation, analytics or strategy. From there the sky is the limit.
