WPP Fellowship

Salary:  Competitive   Location: London

Type: Full Time  Postal/Zip Code:  SW19

WPP is the world leader in communications services. There are more than 150 companies within the Group, setting industry standards in Advertising; Media Investment Management; Consumer Insight; Public Relations & Public Affairs; Branding & Identity; Healthcare Communications; Direct, Digital, Promotion & Relationship Marketing and Specialist Communications.   We are manufacturers of communications ideas that help to build business for our clients, through creating and developing relationships with the people who buy and use their products and services. We do this through a demanding combination of hard work and flair; logic and intuition; left brain and right brain thinking.

WPP is offering a number of Fellowships.  The Fellowship was started, 18 years ago, to create future generations of leaders for our companies. Fellows tend to be intellectually curious people, who are motivated by the challenges of marketing communications, and by the prospect of working at the confluence of art and business. Fellows spend three years on the Program: in each year they work in a different WPP company, in a different marketing communications discipline and, usually, on a different continent. Fellows are likely to work in a client management or planning role although some work on the creative side of an agency.  Each rotation is chosen on the basis of the individual’s interests and the Group’s needs. On completion of the Program, we work to find a position in the Group that takes advantage of the broad experience gained during the three years.  Long-term prospects within a WPP company are excellent, with many former Fellows now occupying senior management positions.

We are looking for people who are intellectually curious, committed to marketing, take a rigorous and creative approach to problem-solving, function well in a flexible, loosely structured work environment, and are motivated by the prospect of delivering high-quality communications services to their clients. All applicants should have completed an undergraduate degree (class 2:1 or above) or equivalent. Other than that, there are no set qualifications or criteria and we welcome applications from candidates irrespective of age, gender or background.
