Careers

We have 2 offices in South Africa: one in Greenpoint, Cape Town and the other in Illovo, Johannesburg. In each office we have a team of brand strategists, insight managers and designers.

Our teams are quite lean (but mean) but we are always on the look out to meet bright, new talent.

Yellowwood offer internships to graduates who are keen to gain some exposure to the world we operate in. We are committed to bringing young graduates into our business, to share with them, coach them, involve them, and challenge them; equipping them with some real-world experience of branding and marketing (you definitely won't just be making the tea!). The benefit to us is that we have fresh, new minds in our business to challenge, disrupt and make us think differently.

Internships are typically 2 - 3 months, but can be shorter or longer upon agreement.  Interns are also generally unpaid, but payment is negotiated for longer term interns.

If you are keen to apply for an internship, please send us your CV as well as respond to the following questions:

  • Why are you specifically interested in doing an internship at Yellowwood?
  • Which area of marketing strategy, research or design are you most interested in?
  • What are you hoping to get out of your internship?
  • Are you looking for an internship in Johannesburg or Cape Town?
  • How long would you ideally like an internship for and when would you like to start?
  • How did you hear about Yellowwood?
