100% Home-based
Reporting to:
Account Managers for our Consumer Division
We have an exciting opportunity for a passionate gamer to contribute to the success of our consumer client accounts. As the landscape of video game public relations shifts away from traditional media coverage, we’re seeking someone to help us continue delivering media coverage and develop complementary new services such as community management (on Discord), social media management, and video editing.
The candidate needs to be a self-starter, have excellent communication skills, and be interested in learning how to develop creative story ideas and PR pitches. You will work with several consumer clients (retained and project-based), spanning PC, mobile, console, VR/AR, wearables, Kickstarter, and more. You will report to the senior members of the account team, work alongside the agency directors on the day-to-day account work, and support the wider agency team where necessary.
This role supports the broader team in client relationships, driving media and influencer attention for their titles in exciting and creative ways.
We’re looking for a dynamic, passionate person who wants to develop their future career within PR and marketing in the ever-expanding global games industry.
You will work directly with the other members of the consumer games team and John and James, the founders of the company, which retains a very flat structure.
You’ll be given autonomy and responsibility from day one. You must be a strategic thinker and a confident writer, brimming with ideas, demonstrating an ability to manage numerous tasks concurrently, and having excellent attention to detail. You will be responsible for crucial aspects of the daily work with clients, media, and influencers.
The position is home-based, as we are a 100% virtual agency. There will be quarterly in-person meetings in Central London and potentially other meetings where appropriate.
This is a paid role at 750£ per month.
An authentic and genuine passion for video games and the games industry — this is a strong MUST, and we’ll be testing credentials in the interview!
Excellent written and spoken communication skills
A high degree of familiarity with social media platforms such as TikTok, X, BlueSky, Instagram (ideally a user)
Strong interpersonal skills
Highly motivated, organised, and exceptional time management skills, as the role is home-based
A willingness to get involved in broader company initiatives such as our blog, networking, and marketing
An appetite for knowledge and self-development
Proficiency with standard software tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Adobe, etc.
A creative and fun streak with a need to deliver great work to your colleagues and clients
Day-to-day account administration, such as building and updating media lists, writing agendas, and reports
Liaising with clients to ensure that their needs are met and looking for opportunities to grow the relationship with new games and services
Helping to develop our sales materials (website, case studies, sales decks, etc.)
Learning how to set up a Discord community server and run a games community for clients with a programme of activities
Supporting the social media team with tasks such as:
Drafting social media copy for clients (B2B and consumer) across a range of platforms, including LinkedIn, X, and BlueSky
Editing long-form video content into short-form clips to share on social media
General social media admin, such as scheduling posts and sharing links to content with clients via Asana
Researching everything from finding relevant influencers for our clients to gathering information on competitors
Data gathering for monthly social media reports
Uploading case studies and client news to the company website using the WordPress CMS
Copywriting for press releases and news announcements
Monitoring the news for client coverage
Working closely with the company team to develop campaigns and stories
Building and maintaining relationships with journalists and key stakeholders on behalf of our clients
Supporting the wider team across the agency on relevant tasks
The company is a full-service PR and marketing agency specialising in strategic communications and consultancy for the global video games industry. We cover both B2B and B2C audiences.
Founded by games industry veterans with decades of experience in PR and marketing, we support our clients with everything from media relations and outreach for new video games and product launches to global events management and content creation.
2024 saw us as finalists for Best Agency in both the PocketGamer.biz and MCV awards. We’re also finalists for ‘Best PR Agency’ in the 2025 MCV Develop Awards.
Traineeship jobs are structured programs that combine learning and practical experience, helping you gain the skills needed to enter the workforce.

Some traineeship jobs offer stipends or salaries, while others are unpaid. On theInterna you can whether the internship is paid or not before you apply.
Absolutely! We encourage you to apply for about 5 opportunities initially which really align to your interests. It is better to have fewer but more tailored applications
Not necessarily. Many traineeship jobs are designed for beginners and focus on skill development but make sure to really demonstrate (quantitatively where possible) your skills and achievements in your CV.
Traineeship jobs come in many forms—tech, marketing, sales, customer support, engineering, and more. Some focus on creative skills, others on business or data. You can filter by field or interest when browsing listings on theInterna.
It depends on the employer. Some roles require local language skills (like Spanish or French), while others only ask for fluent English. Each listing will mention language requirements clearly, so check before applying.
Yes, you can. theInterna typically works with students in their final year or those who graduated recently. If you’ve recently completed your degree and are looking to gain hands-on experience, a traineeship is a great next step.
Yes, especially in marketing, software, and customer experience roles. Many companies now offer remote traineeships or hybrid models, allowing flexibility if you can’t relocate.
Traineeships are often structured with training modules and soft skills development, while internships tend to focus more on workplace immersion. Traineeships may also lead to qualifications or support services.
Many traineeship jobs serve as a stepping stone to a permanent role. Some companies hire top-performing trainees or extend their contracts if there’s a good fit.
Typically, you’ll need an updated CV, a short motivation letter, and any relevant academic or work references. Some roles may ask for a portfolio or language proof.
Yes, if you’re working in a country where you’re not a resident. Visa types vary by country and job duration. theInterna provides guidance or links to help with the visa process.
Most traineeships range from 20 to 40 hours per week. Full-time roles are common, but some employers offer part-time schedules, especially for students or remote placements.
By interning at a partner startup of theInterna you will be sure to get real business exposure and give you the right grounds to be able to excel when there.
