Apprenticeships are not new, but conventional notions of hiring have dominated the corporate space. We believe in experience beyond exposure, and hands-on learning is an important, and often overlooked way to fast-track success. As a result, we created The Media Experience apprenticeship program to expand inclusive pathways for talent to enter the industry and cultivate fundamental skillsets in the process.
At dentsu X, our team is made up of dreamers, data-hungry minds, and people with a clear vision for a sustainable industry. Our agency is built from people with unique experiences with one thing in common: we are impact driven. The Media Experience interview process is reimagined to highlight promise and eagerness, rather than skillset competency. We gauge potential, taking a holistic approach to understanding each prospective candidate, while intentionally removing bias from the process.
“I’m feeling incredibly blessed and overjoyed to have finished my 8-week Media Experience Program with dentsu! I don't know how to explain how proud I am of myself and everyone else in my cohort for completing the program. This is just the first step in a highly anticipated career path!”
- Meghan Neel, Associate, dentsu – graduate of the March 2022 cohort
As an agency that takes pride in being ready for ‘what’s next,’ we saw a need to change legacy hiring models. We’re paving the way forward, opening doors and removing barriers for new talent to break into the advertising industry. Best of all, through The Media Experience program, we no longer require a college degree to join dentsu’s US media agencies. So, if you feel like you have what it takes, join us! Let’s help you embark on a meaningful career in media!
