The role

This is a learning placement for students and recent graduates. As a Creative Strategy Intern at MMC, you help research audiences and competitors, collect ad references and draft brief sections for D2C brands, B2B companies and educational institutes. A Senior Creative Strategist reviews your work and shows you how an ad idea becomes a test, and how a test result becomes the next idea. The internship runs for 3 to 6 months, full-time. The stipend is subject to interview. If you already have experience, see the Associate Creative Strategist role. The internship is open on-site in Indore or remote within India. Remote interns may occasionally be asked to visit our Indore office.

On-site at our office in Vijayanagar, Indore, or remote from anywhere in India. Both options are open for this role. Remote hires may occasionally be asked to visit the Indore office.

How hiring works

  1. Apply. Send your CV, your portfolio or showreel link if the role asks for one, where you want to work (on-site in Indore or remote within India), your current city, your years of relevant experience and your answers to four short questions. A recruiter reviews every application against the role's requirements.
  2. A structured interview. 30 to 45 minutes with the hiring manager. Every candidate for a role gets the same core questions, built from what the role needs.
  3. A practical task. Early-career roles: a live task of 60 to 90 minutes, at the office or on a video call. Mid and senior roles: a task of a few hours on a realistic brief, with no live client data.
  4. A final conversation. With the department head and a founder. We agree on-site or remote work, your joining date and terms here, and take references before any offer.
