The Role
An unbelievable experience working with industry leading marketeers! The variety of work gave an incredibly deep insight into the entertainment industry.
Given real responsibility and treated as an equal from day one. My team and the wider department treat interns incredibly well, show by the company being the highest entertainment company in The Top 100 Undergraduate Employers and 1st in marketing and advertising.
Supported throughout, never did I feel abandoned or lost. Every member of the department was approachable, regardless of their seniority.
The perfect balance. From deep involvement in global phenomenons such as Joker, to red carpet events and publicity tours, there was always a job to be done.
Given responsibility on both sides of the digital marketing team, from paid media activity to organic management. There is full expectation and trust placed in all interns to carry out tasks.
Skills, both professional and personal, will be used in my studies and career. As well as learning the job role, Warner provide all interns professional skills sessions; such as public speaking and software based sessions.
The Company
The general atmosphere of the office was vibrant, friendly and hard-working. The open plan and modern layout feeds directly into the industry leading and team ethic that encompasses Warner Bros. marketing. Every staff member is approachable and this allows interns to feel at ease and confident when making contributions to their team.
Incredibly well organised. Warner Bros. ensures interns receive training beyond just their department, equipping us with skills to further our careers; such as public speaking and software based sessions. Warner Bros. have a well established placement scheme, shown by their high position in the RateMyPlacement Top 100 Undergraduate Employers and 1st position in marketing and advertising placements.
Warner Bros. ensures interns receive training beyond just their department, equipping us with skills to further our careers; such as public speaking and software based sessions.

Whilst Warner Bros. has no direct graduate scheme, they do hire interns into the business. As such, those that do return to the business will be in a job position above a grad scheme. This shows the trust and expectation placed in interns to handle large responsibility straight away and it's great to see interns make this transition.
The Culture
There was a great social scene. This included team lunches and events, as well as intern only socials. With over 40 interns and apprentices, the social scene is vibrant and the office is well positioned to enjoy central London! There are also lunch-time sports teams, including a great football team.
Being in central London (Holborn) is always going to be expensive. However, the salary that Warner Bros. offers compensates for this. With Soho and Covent Garden a 5 minute walk away, the social opportunities are endless! Placement years should be enjoyed and seen as an opportunity to explore London too, don't let it go to waste!
The location of the Warner Bros. office in central London (Holborn) is prime. Soho and Covent Garden are a 5 minute walk away, full of great bars and pubs for after work socialising! The intern group was great at organising nights out and get togethers on weekends, so the social element was really enjoyable.
Great opportunities for out of work activities. I personally joined the Warner Bros. Football Club, where we played regularly against local offices. These provided a great opportunity to network alongside departments that I didn't regularly encounter. Other events included Media Fight Night, where I got to support my VP who was fighting, as well as raise money for a great charity.
