Welcome to Craft

The world of media is being disrupted by powerful forces. Channels have multiplied. Time spent on social media and online video has exploded. Media consumption continues to fragment, and audiences are everywhere. But great communications planning can bring everything together.

Craft Media London launched in 2018 with the intention of filling that strategic hole existing between media and creative agencies. We focus on communication strategy that plugs into the teams at creative agencies or clients directly to help determine exactly what comms needs to do in order to meet business objectives.

At Craft we believe that making media and creative align around a real understanding of consumer behaviour, having absolute certainty around how a brand behaves, and an intrinsic knowledge of media channels leads to brilliant creative work and outstanding results.

We are small but mighty

We are small but have already started to make our mark, giving some strategic love to brands both established and fresh: from Selfridges and Twinings to Formula E and Fever Tree and from wagamama to BT

Working closely with our clients, as well as partner agencies from across the industry, we have consistently produced impactful, results-driving (and award-winning!) work.

3 Month Paid Internship

This internship is your gateway into the world of advertising and comms planning. Whether you're a recent school leaver, a student, or a fresh grad, this is your chance to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with work that matters. You’ll support the Craft team while learning how media, audiences, and brands all come together to create stand-out campaigns.

Undergraduate Degree or a minimum of 3 A-Levels at grade C or above
A proactive mindset and a love of learning new things
