Wanted: Design Interns
TBWA\ is also known as the Disruption® company and that’s not for nothing. We develop creative business-changing and culture-defining ideas for brands by breaking conventions. We are always on the lookout for reinforcement and right now we’re looking for multiple talented Design Interns!

About the internship
You will design the most stunning work for big brands and their campaigns. As a design intern you will be part of the design team and also in close contact with the creatives and the producers. In brief you will be surrounded by a team of experienced and talented designers to gain the knowledge, skills and insights you need while working on real design assignments. This is your chance to learn fast and walk away with a mind-blowing experience!

About you
You are an ambitious and highly motivated Design student that would love to learn as much as you can. Whatever the target, you go for it. Where you see conventions, you overturn them. You are curious and always know how to exceed expectations. You enjoy working together towards a common goal and in daily life, you operate naturally at the many intersections of culture, such as music, technology and travel.

Requirements

You are enrolled in a school of which an internship is part of the curriculum and can submit an internship statement.
Minimum Level 4 Professional Secondary Education (MBO+) or Higher Professional Education (HBO+).
You have graphic insights and are experienced with the Adobe Creative Suite as Photoshop and Illustrator.
You are available for the minimum of four months and ideally five months.

What’s in it for you?

Work for global brands while being surrounded by creative minds that inspire and show you all ins and outs of advertising.
Be part of a close group of interns from all kinds of departments.
An internship allowance.
Great learning experiences and monthly Pirate Schools (our internal education platform).
Various events and drinks every week in our own bar or on our sunny terrace by the water.
And if your internship months weren't enough… Quite a lot of interns stick around for their first (and sometimes even second or third) job. So who knows…

Does this sound like you?

Our Departments

Account
Here you will be the point of contact for our clients. It’s a fast track to understand the different departments and our processes. You’re good at getting things done, and great at working with people. You’re organized, love an overview and are keen to handle a project (or a few) by yourself.

Strategy
If your mind is constantly curious, and you find yourself asking “why?” a lot, then perhaps strategy is for you. Here you dig deep into brand and consumer insights, trends and shifts in culture. You make sure that this informs the best strategy, for both the client and our creatives.

Creative
In the creative department… well, we get creative. It’s where we take our strategic thinking and the needs of the client to work out the story we need to tell our audience. These are writers, art directors, creative directors and many other disciplines that love to find weird and wonderful ways to make our clients and campaigns sing, and make their audience think and feel. *Applicants for creative internships are required to submit a portfolio.

Production
Once we’re ready to start making, production comes in. This is where we actually make our image, video, sound and everything in between. It’s high energy, and it’s here that our concepts and ideas come to life.

TBWA\X
This is our digital arm. It focuses on building and developing all kinds of apps and websites for our brands to create a digital consumer journey for their products.

Design
Working closely with creative, the design department brings our visual ideas to life and make sure they function well on their intended platform or medium. Design requires a keen eye for detail, and a good understanding of grid systems, colour theory, typography and how each of these elements come together. *Applicants for design internships are required to submit a portfolio.

Social
When campaigns are ready to live out and grow in the world of social, we bring in our social squad. If you know social, and think you have an idea on what brands can do on these platforms (or you’re keen to learn), then this might well be for you. An internship in this department means that you support the social creatives with your brilliant ideas and design or edit skills.

PR
PR looks after how we are seen as an agency. It makes sure we’re known and look our best in front of (future) clients, press, (future) colleagues, and our industry. This includes maintaining our website and social media, organizing events and handling (inter)national press. Strong writing skills, flexibility and creative thinking are very welcome here.
