Creative Internship at Haines
Haines
Come work on real brand, innovation and category wide challenges for some of the world's best food and drink brands. If you're a fast learner, curious and ready to get stuck in, we want to hear from you. No agency experience required.
Introducing Haines
We’re a growth partner to all sorts of brands and businesses in the
CPG sector (consumer packaged goods) which include
spirits, beer, soft drinks, snacks, pet care and wellbeing.
We work with global giants and insurgent brands to help them unlock growth;

think more clearly and show up with impact where it matters.
We’re a strategy consultancy with a full-blown creative team, delivering high-impact solutions at pace through a combination of powerful thinking and high-quality outputs.
What we do
Our project work widely varies but sits across these three buckets.
1) Brand
We define what a brand stands for - and make it impossible to ignore.
Clear positioning. Distinctive execution. Built to cut through
2) Innovation
We spot what’s next and make it real.
From new-to-world ideas to scalable pipelines of future products, we turn opportunity into action.
3) Category
We don’t just compete in categories; we reshape them.
Simplifying complexity and unlocking new spaces for growth.
