Creative Intern

Clutch is a creative growth agency in Helsinki. We do strategy, content, and media, with a focus on culture-driven marketing. That means we start from what people actually care about, watch, share, and argue about, and we build work that lives inside those conversations instead of interrupting them. A lot of what we do involves reaching younger audiences for brands that don't naturally speak to them, which means we spend a lot of time thinking about taste, internet, subcultures, and the difference between something that's actually good and something that just looks like it tested well.

We're hiring two trainees for 5 to 6 months. We're hoping to keep both of you on full time after. Last year's trainee is still with us, now full time, which is exactly the outcome we're aiming for again.

What we're looking for. Three things, mostly. Ambition, meaning you want to be good at this and you're willing to do the unglamorous parts to get there. Passion, meaning you care about the craft itself and not just the output. Curiosity, meaning you read, watch, scroll, an
