Growing at Joint
Creative Ambition means giving people the support and opportunity to keep developing throughout their time at Joint. Every permanent employee has a Joint Progress Fund, alongside two additional £1,000 bursaries each year for external training linked to individual development goals. As well as tailored coaching and mentoring for emerging leaders to access external high-performance coaching.
Our biggest and longest-running annual training investment is taking the whole agency to Austin for SXSW. Everyone gets access to the same mix of creativity, technology, culture and emerging ideas, then brings that thinking back into Joint.
We partner with Alicia at Black Create Connect and Creative Access, alongside paid internships and structured work experience, to widen access to the industry and bring emerging talent into Joint from beyond the usual agency networks. Everyone at Joint also receives psychological-safety and inclusion training, helping create the conditions for different voices to be heard once they’re here.
The Joint Apprentice Scheme gives emerging talent meaningful experience of agency life, proper exposure to the work and the chance to build relationships across disciplines. Several people who started through the scheme have stayed at Joint, including as creatives and account managers.
