Intern Sustainability and Social Impact

Join us as a Sustainability & Social Impact intern!

Our For Better impact program is booming! Not just because it’s morally right, but because businesses that do good, perform better. People are choosing companies whom reflect their values and engage them in being part of a better solution. In turn, brands are competing to innovate and grow with the cultural realities of an increasingly diverse Dutch audience.

In this role, you’ll learn how collaboration and an entrepreneurial mindset can inspire new agency propositions, attract impact-driven business, values-aligned clients, and have a front row seat to the ‘awe’ inspiring positive change already happening all around us

Who are we?

At our Amsterdam-Noord office on Wilgenweg, you’ll find all our expertise under one roof: commerce, data, media, creative, PR, influencer marketing, and production you name it.

At the heart of our culture is our people. A team of designers, creatives, researchers, cultural strategists, content creators, media planners, and project managers passionate about people, brands, and driving culture forward. We’re driven, talented, bold, and have more fun than most, even when the pressures on.
