• Support the Media Strategy team in bringing research and strategy to life for clients.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Natural problem‑solver who sees opportunities where others see obstacles.
• Data‑driven analyst who understands cause‑and‑effect relationships and loves to deep‑dive into available data.
• Business detective: expert in audience, market, cultural, or performance research, and able to turn data into a compelling story.
• Bringer of energy and structure to workshops and co‑creation sessions, and capable of engaging all participants.
• Creative presenter who can make ideas shine through smart presentations or slide decks.
• Student in Marketing, Media, Strategy or a similar field (WO or HBO).
• Currently enrolled at a Dutch university for the entire duration of the internship.
• Availability of 4 days per week, preferably 5, from August 2026, for a duration of 6 months.
