Welcome. If you’ve made it this far, chances are you’re curious, creative, and ready to grow. We don’t run a typical internship programme—and we don’t want typical applicants.

This year, we’re taking things up a notch:

✅ 1 UK-based paid full-time internship
✅ 2 paid part-time internships
✅ 40 work experience internships (6, 12 or 18 weeks)

Whether you’re looking for your first break or your next bold step, this page is where it begins.

“Darren’s intern programme built over six years and inspired by his evil boss at L’OreHell ensured he knew what he didn’t want to ever make his interns live through and to show young talent you just need the right person to give you a break, some strong work ethics and a lot of training and patience which is why his teams feel like family that get shit done”
Eleanor H.

No one day is the same we produce events, provide crisis management PR, video and podcast production are the fun bits and the harder stuff like email marketing, website building, or strategic and tactical solutions to clients wanting more leads and revenue ensure we ease you into it and don’t make it feel like a mini MBA…

✅ First Things First: Are We a Match?

🎥 Your Application: 2–3 Minute Video

To apply, we want to see and hear from you.

Please submit a video (maximum 3 minutes total) answering the three questions below.
You can:

Submit one continuous video, OR
Submit three separate clips—one for each question

📩 Send your video (or a WeTransfer/Drive link) to: admin@thrivemagazine.ai
📅 Deadline: 31st July

Our interns do everything from working directly with clients to working in the studio and helping with production of content here is Danni who worked for me while I was CMO at City AM helping film our old podcast with our presenter and my dear friend Julia Streets and Lord Chris Holmes our guest.

🎤 The Three Questions

Answer these honestly and creatively—we want to get a real feel for you:

What’s your story?
Tell us who you are, what you care about, and why you want to be part of this year’s cohort.
What’s one skill, strength or experience that makes you stand out—and how would you use it with us?
If you could pitch one creative idea for a campaign, interview, or event with Team Darren, what would it be and why?

🎬 Quick Tips for Filming Your Video

Yes, we’re watching how you shoot it—because content quality matters. This isn’t about being polished or overproduced; it’s about care, clarity and creativity.

Here’s what we expect:

✅ Film in landscape (horizontal)
✅ Good audio—avoid background noise
✅ Good lighting—face a window or a soft light source
✅ Look into the lens, not at your screen
✅ Upload in a shareable format (MP4 preferred, or via Google Drive/WeTransfer with open access)

You don’t need fancy equipment. Your phone is fine. Just be yourself and respect the basics—this is your first piece of content with us, and we’re watching for attention to detail.

🚀 Final Step

📧 Email your video to: admin@thrivemagazine.ai
📅 Deadline: 31st July 2025

Once we’ve reviewed your submission, successful applicants will be invited to:

🗣️ Group interviews at our Shoreditch studio (for UK-based roles) or online (for remote candidates)
💡 Final panel interview, including a short 2-minute presentation on what you’d like to learn—and how you plan to get there

We’re looking for potential, not polish. So if you’re ready to show us who you are and how you think—start filming.
