Hatched Internship Programme

hi! – the Hatched internship programme is now closed for new entries

We are now reviewing applications and making a shortlist.

What You Get

Full of fun, fully paid* and could lead to a full-time role here, or give you the experience or start in the creative industry you're looking for

The Hatched internship programme is about finding and nurturing young talent. Whether you stay here at Hatched or move on somewhere else once your time is up, we want to make sure you’re better than you were when you started. The following is what you can expect from the three-month period:

A Live Portfolio

You will get to work with our clients on a range of briefs so that by the end of your internship you’ll have a portfolio full of live work.

A *Living Wage

We believe if you’re going to work you should be paid. We’re committed to meeting the placement-poverty-pledge.

A Mentor

Everyone here will offer you help and advice, but you will be assigned a mentor for the length of your internship.

Experience

You won’t be here to make the teas or sent off in search of a bag of pixels, you’re here to gain an experience with value.

Environment

You’ll get to work in a vibrant, intimate and open environment in the heart of Clerkenwell.

You'll Be Heard

We’re open to your ideas. In fact we encourage them. We want you to have a voice and we’re ready to listen. Whether it’s a live brief, a speculative brief or a passion project, let’s talk about it and create it.

A Better Skillset

Maybe it’s video effects, or maybe it’s that one thing that’s been bugging you how to do in Illustrator, either way, you’ll get to use all the tools to broaden your skill set whilst you’re here. Expect to live outside of your comfort zone.

A Good Time

Most importantly, we want you to enjoy yourself here.

From intern to international copywriter

“Having just graduated, interning at Hatched was an experience that I wanted, but didn’t know I needed.

It was the experience to work in the industry I love, experience to work with a hard-working, dedicated and passionate team, experience to work on a range of different clients and experience that allowed me to find my feet and find out what I really wanted to do in my career.

When I started my internship I was a project assistant, but by embracing, immersing and fully involving myself in the programme, it led me to a full-time role at Hatched as a copywriter; creating content and copy for brands and audiences across the world.”

What We Need

We're looking for someone with boned-infused creativity and all the will in the world

We’re looking for that love, someone passionate about their craft. If you fancy yourself an ideas person, good news, because we fancy you.

Creative

Whether you’re a designer, art director, copywriter, or once dabbled in a bit of stop-frame animation, as long as you’re creative and have a passion for it, then let’s be ‘aving you.

Motivated

It is important to remember that behind the good times and shenanigans, the internship is work and at times it will be hard work, so we need someone that is self-motivated, willing to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.

Be Nice

A simple one, really. The team here are friendly, approachable and enthusiastic, so we’d expect anyone who joins that team to be the same. Whilst we don’t mind an ego, we prefer those to be checked at the door.

Sweet On Suite

Experience with Adobe Creative Suite will be essential. Not neccessarily the whole package, but some experience in Photoshop, Illustrator and/or Indesign (the big three) is preffered. XD, Sketch or AFX may earn you extra brownie points.

How To Apply

What you’ll need to do

1. Send us a project

No need for CVs, full portfolios or cover letters. We just want to see one project.

All you need to do is send us your best, favourite project, and why you’ve chosen it, to intern@hatchedv5.mystagingwebsite.com. It just has to show us your creative side. It might be something you’ve done at an agency already, it might be a uni project, or it might be a private project without any form of notoriety, but you love it.

The programme is now closed. Thank you.

2. Complete a creative challenge

Once we’ve received your project, we’ll be making a shortlist of those to brief towards a small, creative challenge to complete within a certain time frame (one week).

The brief along with deadlines will be sent out via email, so keep your eyes on your inbox.

3. Meet and greet

Finally, if you’ve made the last stage, you’ll be asked to come in and meet the team for a chat, so we can get to know you a little better and you can get to know us.

Candidates will then be notified via email whether they are accepted into the Hatched Internship Programme.
