Copy Intern

This internship will run from Mon 9th June - Fri 29th Aug 2025.

Welcome to Ignite, DEPT®'s internship for Black individuals. 

As it’s challenging for Black professionals to break into the marketing/advertising industry, an initiative has been created and is dedicated to changing that by hiring, retaining and developing Black people in this sector. We want to aim to have a proportionate amount of Black talent across our offices. 

This opportunity is open to those seeking to start their career in copywriting, and is perfect for a current university student or someone who already has a little experience, whether self-taught, from a previous role, or an education course.

As a Copywriter intern for the Ignite program, you’ll be tasked with writing a variety of creative campaigns, brainstorming innovative and exciting ideas, and seeing things fruition into fully moulded concepts. 

Within the Ignite internship, you will have a Black mentor and/or line manager who will help guide and support you. This will ensure that we can meet your needs at both a business and personal level.

At DEPT®, we offer a range of learning opportunities to build up your skill set and we make sure you’re given the best tools to succeed in your growing career. 

JOB PURPOSE

With support from your mentor, you will work on a broad range of projects for some of the largest, well-recognised brands in the world. You will write for all digital channels, providing on-brand website copy that drives clicks and engagement.
