Growing our talent

What we all have in common is a passion for brands and a belief in their ability to unlock growth. Growth is an important theme for us; obviously it starts with growth for our clients’ businesses, but our people also need to be open to personal growth, to learning and developing on an ongoing basis.

Developing the talent we have within the company is a priority – so too is attracting fresh new talent from some of the world's top academic institutions.

What are we looking for? In addition to mastery of your content areas, we’re looking for self-starters. People who aren’t afraid to stand up and be counted. Who can hold their own with colleagues and clients.

We also participate in programmes like WPP’s Marketing Fellowship Program (Global) and the Kantar Graduate Programme (South African) which enable us to find, foster and share exceptional young talent across the WPP family.

What about international opportunities? As a truly global business there are obviously opportunities for travel. This can work in two ways; either through transfers from one office to another for a period of time, often 12 months, or more commonly through projects, where people might visit a country or city for up to a week. We had a recent case where someone spent 6 weeks in Shanghai for one of our international clients.

We also offer our people the chance to work on some of the world’s most iconic brands [Click here for Some Work We’ve Done] – not something many companies can offer.

So, graduate well. Demonstrate a passion for brands and be in touch.
