Supporting the next generation of creative talent, The Mission Control Communications has added its name to The One Club Paid Internship Pledge that guarantees interns a fair wage.

Reaching out to partner will local colleges, The Mission Control aims to encourage more talent to stay in the industry with paid internships that allow students and graduates to focus on the work and not how to make ends meet.

‘If we want to encourage more people into the industry, we need to make it worthwhile,’ says James Killoran, Head of Strategy at The Mission Control. ‘As an industry, we have to offer them more than cupcakes and pool tables for Facebook likes; we have to offer them a wage that allows them to live. With many of us having followed the work-for-free route to get our first rung on the ladder, we know that it’s counterproductive to getting the best from people.’

Signing up to The One Club Paid Internship Pledge reflects The Mission Control’s goal of supporting staff from internship through to access to world-class training throughout their career.

About:  When you follow cultural and market trends, you are settling for second place. You are saying that you prefer to follow rather than lead.
That’s not for us and it’s not for the people, brands and companies we work with.
We are achievers – go getters. We look at what everyone else is doing and then we do something different. Something outstanding. Something that gets peoples’ attention. Something that elevates your brand in an authentic and relevant way.
We are not a traditional advertising or digital agency. We are more – we are a creative effectiveness company with specialists and associates in the UK and USA. We don’t limit our thinking to a single way of doing things. We open our minds to all ways of doing things and we don’t just solve problems – we create new opportunities.
We work collaboratively with companies spanning the pharmaceutical, life science, healthcare, financial and technology sectors to create work that brings about life-changing, business-enhancing and thought provoking outcomes.
