Insight & Innovation Intern - London, United Kingdom - Brand Genetics

Description

Insight and Innovation Intern Opportunity

Background

Brand Genetics is a global human-first insight and innovation consultancy, that works with some of the world's most iconic brands - including ABInBev (Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois etc), Diageo (Captain Morgan, Tanqueray, Don Julio etc), Mondelez (Cadbury, Milka, Belvita, OREO etc), PepsiCo (Pepsi, Gatorade, Tropicana etc), Kellogg's and Unilever.

In a world where change happens so fast, we believe that the best strategies are based on the things that don't change - so we anchor our thinking in core human motivations.

We believe the ultimate goal of innovation is to create more positive outcomes in the world around us. So, we champion 'Positive Innovation' - innovating with people's happiness and wellbeing in mind.

We are headquartered in central London, in the vibrant Fitzrovia neighbourhood, with offices in Rio de Janeiro and New York and plans for further global expansion.

We support hybrid working and flexible hours; however, strongly encourage any new team members to be in the office 5 days a week when they first join to accelerate learning and get to know our wonderful people

Brand Genetics has a unique and collaborative culture, encouraging our exciting and diverse team "to be uniquely human" by celebrating and developing their specific strengths and talents.

Even after 20+ years, we maintain a strong start-up mentality, valuing agility, autonomy, and a constant and curious quest for the new.

Our cheesy but true short-hand for the BG DNA is smart, heart and a lot of self-start.
