Catalyst Academy (Experience Strategy & Activation)

What is the Catalyst Academy?

VML's Catalyst Academy develops future marketers and equips them with the experience and skills to thrive in a competitive industry. Our Catalysts train together, develop a range of important new skills, build camaraderie, and have fun doing so.

As well, we apply the same branding expertise we use with some of the world’s most recognizable organizations to help each of you know, grow, and project an authentic personal brand, one that will help you accelerate your career. What is more, at the end of the programme, you’ll be eligible to land within our agency and be prepared for a purpose-driven, rewarding career.

Who we're looking for:

We are looking for people who are very inquisitive, open minded and determined team players who are striving to kick off their career with a wider perspective while deep diving in the core disciplines that will help you succeed. You will be able to ensure excellent commitment and professionalism while keeping positive attitude.

What you'll be doing:

VML offers an exceptional industry-leading entry level programme that combines training modules with practical work experience. To prepare you for the challenges of today and what’s next in our industry, our Catalyst Academy takes charge of your career development, engaging you with clients and responsibilities from day 1. 

In addition to our in-depth training curriculum, you’ll gain essential industry qualifications from the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) and other WPP Academies to accelerate your professional development. Catalysts have access to a wide range of personal development opportunities and can join our Business Employee Resource Groups (B-ERG’s) including Women’s Network, Unite, Roots, Wellbeing and Green Team. 

No need to worry about finances either – we offer a competitive salary and bespoke benefits!
