4. Reads things. And has favourite writers, thinkers or creators who influence you.

5. Has at least one piece of writing you’re proud of.

6. Can talk about your ideas and decisions, and respond thoughtfully to other people’s thinking.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to read your best work.

Our Responsibilities

1. The internship will be for six weeks, five days per week.

2. You will be paid £554 per week.

3. You’ll be in-person in our Central London Studio Monday-Thursday, with the option of working from home on Fridays.

4. We will ensure that you have frequent access to our team, and opportunities to learn from them where possible.

5. We will provide meaningful feedback throughout your internship to support your personal development and career ambitions.

6. We ensure Koto is an equal environment for all our employees

7. We will ensure you are engaged with the realities of the agency, doing the same work we do.

Our Culture

• At Koto we encourage our team to be ‘rationally optimistic’ about the potential of our work, our clients, their businesses, and the power of brand.
• We pursue the best briefs, want to inspire meaningful work, and for those interested provide an opportunity to make the work of their lives. We are actively cultivating leadership, culture and spaces to encourage this.
• We work in person with an optional WFH day on Friday, and an additional two weeks remote a year. We believe this produces the best work, mentoring opportunities, collective learning and culture.
• We encourage autonomy in each member of our team, allowing them to manage their own time, hours and personal commitments appropriately to complete work.
