iris is an award-winning global creative innovation network that works with clients such as adidas, Marina Bay Sands, LEGO and Philips among many others.
In today’s world, it is more difficult than ever to get a consumer’s attention. We believe if you want to win consumers, you have to let them in. To do this, we create participation brands: brands that consumers want to be a part of; brands that are outperforming their competitors in every category.
We do this through the creation of Extraordinary Ideas – Ideas that are distinctive, compelling and valuable and generate extraordinary results. iris has a unique range of creative and strategic disciplines including advertising, digital, retail, social, experiential, PR, sponsorship, management consultancy, branded content, direct and CRM. Discipline experts are teamed around client need so campaigns are easy to leverage and their impact quickly translates into results.
iris is now one of the fastest growing networks in the world and today has over 1000 employees working across 15 countries in markets such as Mexico, China, Indonesia, the UK, India, the US, Australia and here in Singapore.

Planning at iris Singapore
Planning is a vital part of the agency, and is the catalyst to first class creative ideas. Our team works with an impressive client list to build Participation Brands that are more cultural, distinctive and involving than the rest. Given the diversity of our creative output, our planners are brought up to become some of the most versatile in the industry – the problems we must solve are rarely alike. Hence the planners who thrive at iris combine classical planning craft with more progressive instincts for how to influence culture and capitalise on change. The planning team are working closer and closer with our data consultancy Concise to deliver an even more rounded offering.
It is this unique combination of channel diversity, cultural insight, data-driven rigour and an entrepreneurial spirit that have made us a top table strategic partner for all of our clients. And the problems we're solving get more interesting by the day…
About the role
Iris Singapore are recruiting a Planning Intern to join the strategy team. The role will suit someone who is studying/ just studied a relevant subject who is interested in brands, culture, human behaviour and digital technology. We’re not expecting you to know everything, but we are expecting you to have the hunger to learn everything… quickly.
The role will be to support the Planning team, helping out wherever we need some support. It might mean you’ll end up working on a competitor analysis, or conducting some research with people on the street and sharing your findings with the team to unlock fresh creative approaches. We’ll train you up on relevant tools, and give you some freedom and responsibility to shine if you give us your energy, your brain and your hunger to learn. You’ll be informing and inspiring work for current clients, but also helping make the agency smarter as a whole by sharing the most exciting trends, work and points of view from the rest of the industry.
Initially the opportunity is for September 2016, but potentially this can be extended if us and you are all seeing the benefits.
What we’re looking for:
A candidate who:
- Wants to learn in a dynamic, fast moving agency environment
- Is first and foremost interested in the strategy function of any agency
- Has collaboration in their DNA – collaborating with other people internally
- Is willing to get stuck into a range of work across different clients
- Can extract simplicity and coherence from large bodies of information
- Is able to play a supportive role across the team and willing to get their hands dirty
- Has a genuine interest in people and a passion and respect for their views and feelings
- Has good written and verbal communications skills – you’ll be presenting and arguing a case often
