Business Development Intern

Video production is done in-house, from scripting through shoot and edit. We plan and buy media for retail and healthcare clients across TV, radio, streaming and digital. Founded in 1992, we now have 150 employees. We use Asana for projects and Slack for everything else.

About the role
