Why this role exists:

The creative industry is moving fast. AI, automation, and emerging tech are reshaping how content is made, scaled, and delivered. We're looking for a Creative Technologist Intern to join our Digital team and help us explore what's next.

This isn't a sit-back-and-observe internship. You'll be embedded in an incubator-style environment where you'll research, prototype, and contribute to real production work. If you're the kind of person who sees a new tool and immediately thinks what could I make with this, this is your role.

What You'll Do

Prototype & Build

Develop working prototypes and proof-of-concepts that explore how emerging tech can enhance creative production
Move quickly from idea to build. Test, learn, iterate, repeat
Design with scale in mind. The things you build should have the potential to grow beyond a demo

Explore AI & Automation for Creative

Experiment with generative AI tools (image, video, text, code) and evaluate how they fit into real creative workflows
Build lightweight tools, templates, or integrations that make AI more accessible for non-technical teams
Identify opportunities to automate repetitive creative processes without losing craft or quality
Stay hands-on with the WPP Open platform and explore how AI can amplify creative output at scale

Research & Trend Scout

Track emerging creative tech (tools, platforms, techniques) and bring insights back to the team
Produce art of the possible demos or presentations that showcase new opportunities
Benchmark what leading brands, agencies, and tech companies are doing with creative technology
Translate research into actionable ideas the team can explore or build on

The Incubator

Think of this internship as a 16-week sprint. You'll work closely with our Creative Technologist and Digital team, roughly following this structure:

Weeks 1-4: Immerse. Learn the landscape, tools, workflows, and identify opportunity areas
Weeks 5-10: Explore and build. Dive into research, prototyping, or live production work depending on where the biggest opportunities are
Weeks 11-14: Deepen. Continue building on what's working, whether that's a prototype, a research output, or hands-on production support
Weeks 15-16: Share. Present your learnings, work, and recommendations to the team

This is a guide, not a rigid plan. The shape of your internship will depend on the work pipeline and what we uncover together. Some weeks you might be deep in research and exploration. Others you might be hands-on with live production work. What matters is that you're learning, contributing, and pushing things forward.

What We're Looking For

Final year, or recent graduate in: Computer Science, Creative Technology, Digital Media, Engineering, or related fields

You should bring:

A creative mindset. You see tech as a tool to solve problems and make a difference
The ability to pick things up fast. New tools, new platforms, new ways of working. You figure it out and get moving
Natural curiosity about AI, generative tools, and emerging creative technology
The confidence to prototype fast, fail fast, and learn fast
Resourcefulness. You don't wait to be told what to explore or how to solve something
Strong communication skills. You can explain what you've built and why it matters

Nice to have:

Coding experience (Python, JavaScript, or similar) to supplement your builds and prototyping
Experience with generative AI tools or APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Midjourney, Runway, Stable Diffusion)
Familiarity with front-end frameworks, creative coding, or no-code/low-code platforms
Understanding of automation concepts (APIs, data pipelines, workflow tools)
A portfolio, GitHub, or any evidence of things you've built or experimented with

What You'll Get

Hands-on experience with AI, automation, and emerging tech inside a global production powerhouse
Direct mentorship from our Creative Technologist and Digital team
Exposure to real creative production work and how technology is applied at scale across APAC and the global WPP Production network
The opportunity to contribute meaningfully, whether through research, prototyping, or live project support
Strong portfolio material and real-world experience for future roles in creative technology

Why work here:

At WPP Production, you'll help shape the future of content production at a truly global scale. We bring together world-class talent, cutting-edge studios, and advanced technology to solve some of the most complex creative and production challenges in the industry. You'll work in a collaborative, borderless environment where craft excellence is valued, innovation is encouraged, and AI and next-generation tools are used to amplify not replace human creativity. With access to diverse projects, global career opportunities, and the backing of WPP's unmatched network, this is a place where you can grow your skills, make real impact, and create work that performs for every audience, across every channel, at every moment.
