• We welcome and encourage applications from UK-based candidates aged 18–24 (at the time of application).

• Interviews – W/C 27th April
• Virtual welcome – Tuesday 19th May
• In-person session at Dentsu Sports International – Thursday 2nd July

Important Information - How to apply:

• Instead of a CV answer the following questions in a creative way e.g. PowerPoint slides or video, just save a link to a word doc and submit in the CV/cover letter section or use the URL link/attachments field. Videos should be no more than 2 minutes (we will not mark anything past 2 minutes).
• An introduction to yourself and whether you are currently studying or working
• Why you want to be in the programme, what do you hope to gain from being part of Future Fwd?
• Tell us what your favourite sports marketing campaign is that you have seen and why you found it so impactful?
• Please note if you just upload your CV without answering the above questions, your application will be disregarded.

This programme is unpaid, but travel expenses are covered (up to a reasonable amount i.e. from within the UK).

Please note: Future FWD is designed to run alongside your current work, studies or other commitments. This is not a full-time role – but we do ask for your commitment across the full four months.

The programme is completely free to join.
