Creative Internship at Haines

Introducing Haines

We’re a growth partner to all sorts of brands and businesses in the CPG sector (consumer packaged goods) which include spirits, beer, soft drinks, snacks, pet care and wellbeing.

We work with global giants and insurgent brands to help them unlock growth; shaping categories, building iconic brands, and creating ideas that stick. From Carlsberg to PepsiCo to Jägermeister, we help brands move faster, think more clearly and show up with impact where it matters.

Our business is built as a true creative- strategy hybrid. Influencing decisions at pace with a combination of powerful thinking and high-quality design.

What we do

Our project work widely varies but sits across these three buckets.

Brand

We define what a brand stands for - and make it impossible to ignore.

Clear positioning. Distinctive execution. Built to cut through.

Innovation

We spot what’s next and make it real.
From new-to-world ideas to scalable pipelines of future products, we turn opportunity into action.

Category

We don’t just compete in categories; we reshape them.

Simplifying complexity and unlocking new spaces for growth.
