Future game
changers of media,
we want you
This is a programme like
no other. We're open to
everyone.
Welcome to Pioneers. m/SIX’s newly expanded talent scheme driven at finding the most diverse talent in the UK. We’re searching for game-changers who perhaps have never considered the world of media their potential home. In return you’ll receive world class on-the-job training, helping to shape your future. You’ll earn, learn and have fun inside the fastest growing media agency in the world.
We’re looking for raw talent. We don’t care where you’ve come from or what you’re doing right now. What we do care about is your passion and enthusiasm to learn. If selected for one of the six places, you’ll have the chance to work on live briefs and be exposed to all the wonderful happenings within the agency. From live client work and pitching, through to workshops, lunch ‘n’ learns and agency socials.
NO FIRST/SECOND NAMES
NO CV's
NO Upper age limit
There’s no educational requirements, no upper age limit and we’re hiring without the use of CV’s or even first/second names. Our only prerequisites are that you’re over the age of 18 and that you have the right to live/work in the UK. In return, you’ll get a paid 6 month fixed term contract with the chance to earn the right to a permanent role within the agency at the end of it.
Get a buddy
Get a mentor
Focus on learning
Over the six months that you're in the business, you'll be taken in directions you've never been before, as you get to know the inner workings of m/SIX. You'll experience first-hand, how we operate, how we solve problems for clients and how we collaborate in a way that breeds success. In order to ensure that you hit the ground running, we'll provide you with a buddy and mentor to help shape, guide and support you throughout. You will be given a comprehensive introduction to the media landscape, will be trained in industry leading tools and you will also get the opportunity to get industry accreditation to kick start your career. This is an unmissable opportunity if you want to start a career in media!

THREE APPLICATION STAGES.
THREE DIFFERENT CHALLENGES.
THREE CHANCES TO IMPRESS.
We're open to everyone and we're looking for diversity of thought as well as unique skill-sets. Through the three-phase application process, you're going to be challenged in a way you never have been before. In short, impress in these three stages and you'll be in with a chance to claiming one of the SIX places on offer!
| In a video created by you (max 1 min 30 seconds) or in writing (no more than 500 words), tell us why you think we should consider you for Pioneers, and what you think makes you stand out compared to everyone else. Showcase your unique skills and demonstrate to us why you should be hired. We want to hear all about a time that you were pioneering! Be creative, enthusiastic and most importantly pioneering with your application. We promise to review every application that comes through and get back to you within 14 days of the scheme closing. | |
| If you've managed to demonstrate that you have the creativity and pioneering spirit, we want to see how you apply your skills to a typical media task. From answering a campaign brief to tackling a client puzzle, we'll give you a task to wrap your head around that will give you a flavour for the job! | |
| The final stage of the process. It's time to meet (virtually). We'll introduce you to some of the team and ask you a few questions – some of which will have you thinking on the spot. You'll meet other potential Pioneers and complete group activities so we can see how you tackle a task. Then it's decision time for us.. |

closed across three
different tracks.
Digital Native
If you’re interested in our Pioneers scheme, but not sure which route to apply for, then the Digital route is for you. During the six months that you’re a Pioneer with us, you’ll be shown the inner workings of m/SIX, spend time in a variety of departments and you’ll experience working on live client work – whether that’s in a problem-solving capacity, as an account handler, a project manager or within social media or analytics is up to you. We’re not looking for the finished article, and you won’t be held in a specific grouping if your strengths lie elsewhere – it’s just a useful way of us sorting people into three sections.
Analyst
m/SIX is a business that helps our clients improve their marketing and media effectiveness. We use marketing and media data to measure how things work, to find relationships and patterns in data and to predict how different types of marketing investment will work in the future. With our clients often investing millions of pounds, just a small increase in efficiency can produce large cost savings. We look for people who are curious about data, love working with numbers and want to work toward a future with us in helping our clients improve the way their marketing works. Sound like you? Then get applying!
Problem Solver
We’re an innovative and entrepreneurial bunch at m/SIX. As such, our clients regularly ask us to help them solve a particular problem or to help come up with an exciting idea to help reach a specific demographic of the population. If you like to stretch lateral thinking, use your creative brain power to win an argument or demonstrate an idea through the use of new technology, then the Problem Solver route might be appropriate for you. This is the route where boundaries only exist where you put them!
