Marketing & Research Intern

Main Duties

The Role

As Marketing & Research Intern, you’ll be at the centre of our growth — part analyst, part marketer, part community-builder.

You’ll:

• Research and track available retail, fashion, food, and creative spaces.
• Build and maintain our database of indie brands and properties.
• Run our social channels (Instagram + LinkedIn), sharing openings, case studies, and stories.
• Help design and update our website, decks, and digital content.
• Support events & community initiatives for London’s indie founders.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous entry-level to middleweight industry experience in marketing, research, or a startup.
• Strong with creative tools like Canva and designs.
• Confident in creating and posting content on social media.
• Organised and detail-oriented, but also creative and proactive.
• Passion for fashion, food, and London’s indie culture.

What You’ll Get

• Good base salary + bonuses tied to successful deals.
• Hybrid working with flexible hours.
• Direct involvement in live deals and brand growth.
• Exposure to London’s most exciting indie brands.
• A chance to shape both your career and the future of Next Spot.

What will the internship offer the student and what will they learn while they are with you? E.g. skills they could learn/develop and experience they could gain.

About Us

Next Spot is a boutique property agency helping fashion labels, cafés, bakeries, and creative studios find their perfect space in London.

We’re not a traditional agent — we’re small, fast, and hands-on. Our focus is on indie brands and giving them the spaces they need to grow, from a shop in Chelsea to a studio in Shoreditch.

Why Join Us?

• Work directly with emerging designers, indie cafés, and creative founders.
• Shape the identity of a new agency from day one.
• Blend property, fashion, food, and culture in one role.
• Visit London’s best new openings as part of your research.
• Your ideas will help shape how Next Spot grows — no corporate layers here.
