Intern - Marketing & Entrepreneurship - Sept 2024

In a globalized, digital, attention scarce economy, customers have become active co-creators of brands. Knowing what drives customers, merging services seamlessly into customers lives, triggering the right emotions, and reaching out on the right channels is the only way for success in the market.
At ktc, we design innovative services, marketing campaigns and even corporate startups with a global mindset and a passion for entrepreneurship. In every project, we relentlessly focus on what customers want, feel and desire, and find solutions inspired by our deep know-how on the world’s most customer-centric frontrunners.
Out of our hubs in Eindhoven and Mexico city, we aim to to bring remarkable experiences to people. We apply Design Thinking and Lean Startup, but apart from frameworks, we get our hands dirty with the fuzzy front-end. We’re small in numbers, but take pride in an international client portfolio. As part of our growth, we are looking for a intern that fits with our DNA - entrepreneurial, global mindset, self-starter and committed.
