[2025] LOA - UKI - EC26: AESOP – Advocacy & PR Industrial Placement 2026 in London

Based in our London office, you will join Aesop’s Global Brand Communications team, reporting to senior managers across social media and PR. This role is a unique opportunity for a penultimate-year student to support the orchestration of Aesop’s voice across our digital channels and our global community of advocates, journalists, and storytellers.

You will be immersed in the day-to-day execution of our communications strategy, learning how a world-class brand balances creative integrity with digital precision and sincere relationship-building.

Day-to-day, you will be:

• Supporting the orchestration of our brand narrative across all touchpoints, from maintaining the global social media calendar to managing press materials.
• Assisting in community and advocate engagement, including monitoring digital conversations and coordinating the dispatch of product 'seedings' and press gifts.
• Helping to monitor and report on brand perception, tracking global press coverage and digital mentions, and assisting in the collection of social media performance data.
• Providing logistical support for key brand moments, whether it's coordinating assets for a digital campaign or assisting with the planning of a press event.

We are looking for a culturally curious student with a meticulous eye for detail and a natural alignment with Aesop’s minimalist aesthetic. You are someone who finds fulfillment in the details and understands the nuances of crafting a thoughtful brand presence, both online and offline.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• Aesthetic Sensitivity: A deep appreciation for design and an exceptional level of attention to detail, from the copy in a social post to the wrapping of a press gift.
• Communication Skills: Excellent written English and a budding ability to communicate in a tone that is both professional and poetic, adapting to different audiences.
• Digital Curiosity: A strong interest in the mechanics of social media, combined with an understanding of how to build sincere relationships with media and advocates.
• Organizational Rigor: The ability to manage multiple administrative and logistical tasks with poise, discipline, and a high level of accuracy.
• Cultural Awareness: An active interest in the worlds of art, design, literature, and architecture, which informs Aesop’s unique communications strategy.

You are in your second year of a university course that requires a one-year industrial placement.

What’s In It For You:

• A place for you to leave your comfort zone and grow beyond your potential (here, you’ll be encouraged to try new things and take risks!)
• Real responsibility from day 1, there’s no sitting on the sidelines at L’Oréal.
• An environment where people of every ethnicity, social background, age, religion, gender and sexual orientation as well as people with disabilities are accepted, can speak up, will thrive and are celebrated!
• A place where you can contribute to something bigger! Many of our brands have societal/environmental causes to make a concrete difference.
