Internship Communications 2027 Burson Netherlands

How do we strengthen the reputation of one of the largest employers in the Netherlands? Which influencers do we engage for a new product launch? How do we ensure our client gets good media coverage? If these questions make your heart beat faster, then we are looking for you!

What will you do?

An internship at Burson means you'll be given a lot of responsibility right away. As an intern, you become a true part of our team and will be involved in various activities as much as possible.

You will work closely with your colleagues on assignments for brands such as SharkNinja, Jaguar Land Rover, and Procter & Gamble (including Gillette, Always, and Olay). Depending on the clients in your portfolio, you will support, for example, with other substantive tasks such as gathering relevant information, creating media, competitor, or stakeholder analyses, brainstorming on the implementation of new social media or influencer campaigns, and creating content for various channels. While there is hard work in the diverse client teams, the work atmosphere is open, informal, and initiative is highly valued!

Who are we? 

Burson stands for strategy and communication, with advisors who are engaged by clients when it really matters. We assist companies and organizations in the most diverse and often challenging circumstances, advising them in their transitions and transformations. With the goal of creating stakeholder acceptance. Never to protect the status quo, not to jump on every hype, but to make them future-proof with a well-founded strategy.

Our advisors, with their broad experience, craftsmanship, and integrity, are recognized boardroom partners. Independently and critically, they sharpen the discussion with our clients. Burson has years of experience advising companies in complex situations, including in the areas of strategy, stakeholder management, and credible communication.

We are part of Burson Group, an international communication agency consisting of a large network with over 95 offices in more than 40 countries. Together, we are part of WPP: the largest marketing and communication company in the world. Since 2019, we have been located under one roof on our Amsteldok campus in Amsterdam. Additionally, we also have an office in The Hague in the Netherlands.

Who are you?

Have you always wondered what it's like to intern at an international communication agency? Are you well-informed about the latest news? Do you know your way around the online world? Are you communicatively skilled, eager to learn, and do you always ask the right questions? Then this internship is perfect for you.

You are open to new ideas and perspectives, have broad interests, and enjoy delving deep into subjects. Students from all academic backgrounds who are interested in communication, marketing, and media are welcome here.

What do we offer?

During your internship, you will receive a monthly internship allowance of €650 (based on a full work week) and you will be supervised by two colleagues. Every month, you will have a coaching session about your own ambitions and wishes. Midway through your internship, there will be an interim feedback session where there is ample opportunity to indicate what else you want to get out of your internship. Furthermore, you can always approach other Young Professionals (trainees), consultants, and senior advisors with questions. Finally, your travel expenses will be reimbursed and it is possible to work from home on Fridays.
