J WALTER THOMPSON CO.LTD

Every top agency will tell you about why you should choose them for your next career move. They will talk about the friendly people, the exciting brands, the lovely offices with a fabulous restaurant and fresh coffee round every corner. We thought about majoring on all that too because it is all true here. You know, roof terrace in Knightsbridge overlooking Harrods, massages, yoga, running club, great parties. We have appeared on the Sunday Times Best Companies list, just like a few others.

But at the risk of sounding a teeny bit arrogant, we believe JWT is special. Our heritage and experience set us apart because we have been doing what we do for over 140 years. We were the first agency to introduce Account Planning 40 years ago and the first to understand the importance of properly training our people. We are often referred to as The University of Advertising because of our brilliant internal training programmes, our culture of learning and our very clever work force.

Our history is littered with maverick thinkers and doers, often ridiculously young, who had breakthrough ideas that drove not just JWT but the industry forward: the first agency to produce creative content to fill the media space purchased; the first international network of offices; the first planning department. So we need people who can live up to this illustrious past.

Something else that sets us apart is our deep seated belief in fairness, courtesy and respect. We are as renowned amongst our clients for those values, as we are amongst our staff. So at JWT, we will work you hard, but we believe in having personal lives as well. We will support, mentor and develop you because we want to but also because we know that if we fail to do those things, you will look elsewhere for your career development.
