Somewhere, in one of our workshops right now, the future is taking shape. We are constantly working to redefine the way clothing and footwear transforms the pitch, court or course. This is what drives us: the feeling of discovery and the urge to innovate. When we create a product that makes our hearts beat faster, we know we’re onto something.

If this sounds inspiring, you might be one of us: Someone who loves to create the present, as well as shape the future. There’s a reason adidas has been at the forefront of defining sport for more than 60 years: We never stand still. Everyday, we work to improve everything we create.

At adidas, interesting, amazing and inspiring aren’t just ideas. They are what we do every single day.

CALLING ALL CREATORS

Join us for our 3-day workshop and learn what it’s like to work in the adidas London Newsroom.

At adidas we live and breathe sport because sport has the power to change lives for the better.

Be part of it.

Sign up to the 3-day workshop and show us how you can shape the future of sport with social media.

After a successful workshop in 2016, we are again looking to meet the best storytellers, communicators and marketing talent with a passion for creating the new.

Whether you’re a recent graduate or just getting started in your career we want to hear from you, especially if you have experience in digital and social media marketing, content creation or the sport or fashion industry.

More than anything we want to meet people that are passionate about sport and adidas.

Our desire to meet people who want to join our business extends beyond filling out an online form or new job vacancy.

We want to provide the opportunity for you to be in the best position to take a live role within adidas.

That’s where our special three day Creative Workshop comes in…

During the workshop you’ll experience first-hand what it’s like to work within one of the adidas global Newsrooms.

It will be a hands-on learning experience, with speaker sessions from industry experts at the social platforms and agencies we work with (Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter came down last year). You will receive and respond to a real adidas brief and use practical tools and techniques that you can apply directly to your work. Following the workshop those that impress most will be offered a final interview for a 12-month paid internship in the adidas London Newsroom.

Sign up by submitting your CV and answering two short questions.

If you have what we’re looking for we will invite you to the adidas London Newsroom Creative Workshop in London from 12.7.17 – 14.7.17
