DSTNCT – Project Management Intern

AGENCY FOR THE NEXT GEN

We are all about the next generation. Next generation of consumers. Next generation of platforms. Next generation of content. Next generation of brands.

That’s what gets us up every day. Working with brands to be at the forefront of the next generation. To create relevant and industry-defining work. Whether it’s to better align on the brand's business challenges, understand the people they need to reach, tell the stories they’ve always wanted to tell or to identify the best direction to get there – when brands work with us, they get a team who knows that if we don’t rethink everything, we change nothing.

What We Do

We may be a creative agency but we are most certainly not in the business of advertising. We are in the business of understanding the human psyche.

We obsess over the psychology of our audience - what people are into, their pain-points and motivations, what makes them tick – we take all of that and we bring you and your brand to wherever people are – physically, virtually and emotionally.

That has allowed us to transcend conventional channels to be able to take care of a full spectrum of services for a holistic audience experience.

Culture

Working at DSTNCT means joining a group of people who are passionate about doing great work. Work that challenges the status quo. Work that inspires new ways of thinking. Work that makes people’s lives just a tad bit easier.

It’s not bullshit. It’s a code that we live by. A way of life. Don’t believe us? Talk to us and we will show you a preview of our Culture Code to see what we mean.

There are a few things that make us all tick. Being open and taking chances. Taking pride in your work. Doing the right thing. Working as a team. Being resourceful and solving problems. We’ve always believed that you’re the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with. It’s time to ask yourself: What kind of people do you want to be around with?
