Research and Strategy Internship

Job description

Flamingo London, located behind Tate Modern, is the HQ of our global agency of 270 people, united by their diversity.

Our day to day is always different. We might be playing tennis with amateurs in Miami to get their take on athletic equipment. Cooking with mums in Glasgow to understand changes in food culture. Talking to Indonesian villagers about how they deal with household critters. Interviewing bartenders in London about the perfect Negroni.

We are constantly curious. We explore people’s actions and feelings, as well as the world around us, in order to go beyond the ‘what’ and uncover the ‘why’. We translate this into strategy for companies - to inspire what they make, and shape how they talk.

To do this, we need to work with people who bring their own unique lens and perspective upon the world.
Our internship program reflects this. It gives people from all backgrounds a chance to experience life at a leading insight agency, and gain exposure to a wide variety of projects and challenges.

The paid, full-time position lasts for six weeks. It will be eclectic. You’ll pitch in practically on all manner of projects. Prepare materials, join brainstorms and help capture research output. You’ll listen to people from all walks of life. Discover new ways of looking at the world. And ultimately learn how brands identify cultural insights to develop products and communications.
