About August

August is an award-winning independent digital marketing firm. We aim to nudge the world just enough to make a change. Help us to make it happen.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at August. We don’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

We are big advocates of learning and pushing yourself to be better. Work experience is valuable in the formative years of your career or as you’re nearing the end of high school. It gives you the opportunity – however brief – to be immersed in a company you admire, learn how the company operates, gain an insight into working life and meet people that could help influence your career.

Work experience placements at August are available in June each year.

We take work experience seriously. You’ll be assigned tasks that have a direct impact on the business. Whether it’s assisting with client projects, internal work or being part of team discussions – you’ll be doing much more than just filing or getting coffee.

With that in mind, opportunities here are rare. We don’t advertise, but we do welcome applications from people who push the boundaries with their application.

We want you to stand out. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done work experience before. Show us why you’re different and why we simply shouldn’t say “no” to you.

Things to consider when approaching us about work experience:

• If you submit online, follow up with a phone call.
• If at first you don’t succeed, it’s okay to try again at a later date.
• Be brave and make contact yourself – don’t ask someone else to call on your behalf.
• Research interview etiquette and tips – it could just help you stand out.
• Show us that you’ve learnt about August as a company and what we stand for.
• Be creative in your approach to us.
