LAUNCHPAD

The Space Between is the challenger sports marketing agency for challenger brands and we take that mindset into our work and our culture. In a competitive market we focus on what will make our work distinctive and that is difference. We respect, appreciate, and celebrate difference because, as Benjamin Franklin once said, “If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.” 

We recognise that the sports industry hasn’t always embraced difference – it’s competitive and can be difficult to get the right start without a helping hand or an existing connection. As well as limiting the fresh perspectives that create better work, it also is not fair. That’s why we’ve created LAUNCHPAD our internship scheme for passionate, diverse people looking for a break in the sports marketing industry.  

Right now, our team isn’t diverse enough because we’re too similar. Whilst we’re well represented by gender, our belief in the power of difference means we need to go further and actively recruit people to join our team from more ethnically diverse backgrounds.  

LAUNCHPAD is for people who want to break into the industry and work for a fast growth, dynamic, creative agency. If this is you and you want the chance to work for the Sport Industry’s Young Agency of the Year with clients like The FA, Vitality, ECB and World Rugby then please keep reading. 

We’re making a commitment that annually we will offer at least one paid internship position to join The Space Between for three months, where you will get first-hand experience of sports marketing and the opportunity to contribute with new ideas and thinking. Our first internship role is now available for September - November 2023. 

The Space Between is a business that believes in fairness and that people should be able to compete on equal terms. If you believe you might face barriers or feel at a disadvantage in starting a career in the sports industry, then please apply because your difference is your competitive advantage. Take a look at the blog ‘My Dream Internship’ by Martin Shittu who joined our team last year and is our inspiration for this programme. Please also have a look at the blog by Moses Ssendegeya who completed last years Launchpad program.

Applications are now being received through Creative Access, to apply please follow this link.

Entry closes on 17th July 2023. Applicants must be aged 18 and be eligible to work in the UK.

We look forward to hearing from you.
