Youth Marketing Consultant at The Eleven

The Eleven (www.theeleven.co.uk) is a leading youth marketing consultancy.  

We use our understanding of young people and their world to help brands engage a youth audience.  We've been privileged enough to have worked with some awesome clients... from Adidas, MTV and Nintendo to Timex, Urban Outfitters and even Reggae Reggae Sauce!

As young marketers ourselves - the Directors are 22 and the business is built on the principle that young people are best at understanding young people! - we are passionate about helping enthusiastic and aspirational students/graduates to enter the industry.   

It is increasingly challenging for those interested in pursuing careers in marketing/advertising/PR to find valuable, meaningful experience in organisations that are committed to helping them grow.  We have developed an internship program that covers a wide variety of areas, ensuring that you have the opportunity to apply your ideas in real world scenarios. 

Your time will be spent on two different areas, both designed to help us help you:

For one "half", you will dictate and lead on relevant and interesting projects that you want to complete.  We provide you with the time, guidance and resources necessary to achieve your goals.  It might be that your passion is film and you want to make a documentary on an area of youth interest.  Or perhaps you can come up with a system to "measure" the effectiveness of youth campaigns.  Innovation is encouraged and we hope to be the hub for some really exciting ideas. 

On the other hand, you will receive practical and hands on experience within the following areas of The Eleven:

• BRAND-SOCIAL:  our social media agency managing brands and fan communities online
• INSIGHT:  researching, justifying and reporting on youth consumer behaviour and what young people think of brands
• CREATIVE:  helping conceptualise, develop and in some cases activate creative promotional ideas for our clients
• PITCHING:  identifying new business opportunities, preparing a pitch document and developing a strategy that solves client challenges

One of our motivations behind offering this opportunity is to identify the next wave of talent that can take the agency forward.  In that vein, the potential for permanent roles is a real one.

We will cover your expenses up to a monthly cap.

Applications are ongoing and we hope to provide some flexibility with timings.  

There will be a minimum time period commitment.
