Grey Matter - 2025 Internship

At Grey, we are passionate about developing talent and showcasing all the fantastic things a career in the creative industry has to offer, which is why we’re thrilled to share that applications to join Grey Matter, our Internship Programme, are now open!

Our industry can sometimes look like a closed shop when you’re first starting out, but that’s not the case at Grey London. We welcome anyone who wants to forge a remarkable career in the creative industry or simply wants to find out what it’s all about!

What’s involved?
Placements will last for 12-weeks, with opportunities available across our Account Leadership, Production, Strategy and Project Management departments, where you will get to experience and be involved in making some of the brilliant work that we create here at Grey.

How to apply?
Grey Matter is open to everyone. We don’t need to know your work or education history; we aren’t interested in qualifications or any roles you’ve held before now – we believe there’s more to a person than what’s on their CV. Instead, we want to learn more about how you think and your creative flair. That’s why we are keeping this application short and sweet. We just want to know what makes you tick.

No CV. 

No lengthy form asking about your lifetime of academia. 

Simply a maximum of 200 words per answer to show us what you're made of.

• Pick someone or something that you think is misunderstood and defend them/it.
• What is it about advertising that makes you want to join the industry?
• Give an example of a recent cultural trend that has caught your attention/you’ve enjoyed and tell us why? – it can be anything, but some examples could be a TikTok dance, a meme, a new culinary trend etc.

What can you expect from us?
At Grey, you’ll have the opportunity to work at an incredible agency, with some of the most creative and inspired people in the industry, all whilst getting to grow & shape your career with us. We offer a competitive salary, lots of training, plenty of benefits and wellbeing perks too.

Inclusion & Belonging
At Grey, we believe in the Collision of Difference. We know that the more diverse the input, the more famous & effective the output will be. This belief touches every part of how we work, and so how we welcome new talent to the agency is a huge part of that. We committed to creating an inclusive workplace and we welcome applications from those who are under-represented in our industry. It is incredibly important to us that we celebrate everything that makes us difference and that we create an environment in which everyone can belong, and no one has to cover a part of their identity.
