Inside the Company
Sunshine was founded in 2012 and was designed to help luxury, fashion, and lifestyle brands. Sunshine is at the vanguard of a movement away from advertising and towards entertainment as a more powerful means to drive audience engagement and commercial growth for brands. It uses the power of entertainment thinking to drive brand, cultural, and commercial growth for its clients. The aim is to help the clients create a pathway to a direct audience, eliminating their reliance on intermediaries and shifting them from marketing expenditure to investing in the creation of properties that have the potential to return value. Sunshine has offices in London, New York, and Los Angeles and a global client base, although the main hub of operations is in London.

Mission and Vision
Sunshine operates on a set of guiding principles. They believe the best idea wins, regardless of where it comes from. Storytelling is central, and employees are encouraged to uncover and convey the deeper meaning behind every story, aiming to connect emotionally through their work. Effort, care, craft, and thoughtful consideration are highly valued, alongside professional empathy. Diversity of thought is essential, as it strengthens collective intelligence. Sunshine embraces new perspectives, challenges norms, and seeks fresh ideas. Risk is welcomed—fear signals progress, and failure is a learning step if handled swiftly. Above all, they champion unreasonable ambition, encouraging bold thinking: if you can imagine it, you can achieve it.

Culture and Benefits
Sunshine thrives as a purpose-driven studio, fostering a culture where autonomy, learning, and growth are prioritized. This is guided by four key principles: Autonomy – Everyone, regardless of experience, has the freedom to determine how to best complete their responsibilities. Success is measured by output and performance, not hours worked. Mastery – Every team member has the right to grow, develop, and enhance their skills continuously. Purpose – Employees understand why their work matters both at a company and personal level, with this purpose reflected in daily actions. Inclusion – Sunshine ensures an inclusive, collaborative culture supported by peers and leadership alike.

Opportunities
There is a strong focus on providing valuable opportunities and guidance to entry-level talent at Sunshine. Fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where juniors can learn and grow alongside senior members of the team is crucial. The approach is designed to empower junior employees by offering them exposure to a diverse range of projects and ensuring they receive one-on-one guidance.
Juniors are provided with opportunities to work on a variety of projects – by exposing them to different tasks and challenges, we aim to broaden their skill sets and help them discover their interests and strengths. This exposure to diverse projects also fosters a well-rounded understanding of the organisation and its various functions, which is beneficial for their long-term growth within the company.
Regular one-to-one meet-ups between juniors and their line managers are prioritised. These meetings serve as dedicated times for juniors to discuss their progress, seek advice, and set goals. The individualised attention and guidance provided in these sessions ensure that juniors receive the necessary support to succeed and make the most of their time at the company.
