Qualitative Market Research Internship

Who are we?

A world where complexity is the only constant demands a new breed of company. Brave Bison is a different beast: a media, marketing and technology company purpose-built for the digital era.

Our universe is made up of award-winning business arms Brave Bison, Engage, SocialChain, and MTM. We are underpinned by leading marketing training practice, MiniMBA, as well as our very own social-first media network, delivering monthly views in the billions for some of the biggest channels in sport and entertainment across YouTube, Snap, Meta, and TikTok.

We’re a global collective who live and breathe digital, working with some of the boldest brands in the world to capitalize on the complexity that defines the modern marketing landscape.

Our mission

New platforms, new behaviours, new audiences, new trends, new technologies, new regulations—our clients’ worlds get more complex daily. Their agency partnerships shouldn’t. It’s our job to cut through the chaos, make the complex simple, and navigate a clear path to growth for them.

That’s why we make it our mission to capitalize on complexity for our clients—across consultancy, capability, and execution—by crafting dynamic digital solutions that outpace tomorrow’s challenges.

Our values

We’re a proudly diverse business comprised of deep specialists across media, marketing, training, and technology. Although our skills, backgrounds, and beliefs may differ, we are united by four core shared values:

Bold Curiosity.

We run at change and challenge convention because we love to push the boundaries of what the world thinks is possible. We champion discovery, go deep into our clients’ worlds, and are always hungry to learn more about them, our specialisms, and each other.

Connected Clarity.

We are focused in our collaboration—joining the right dots between our clients, our partners, and our herd of experts to deliver agile solutions at speed and scale. We set a shared ambition from the outset, are transparent at every stage, and always strive to make the complex simple.

Positive Encouragement.

We want to make working with us the best part of someone’s day. We lift one another up, find the fun in the day to day, and are committed to ensuring everyone belongs.

Constant Impact.

We believe in outcomes over outputs. We’re goal-orientated, results-driven, and data-led. We show up with passion every day. And we’re always honing our craft.

For nearly 20 years, MTM has been powering courageous decision-making by answering our clients’ toughest questions with a blend of services across consumer, cultural, and commercial insight lenses.

London-based MTM is a three-time winner of the Market Research Society’s Agency of the Year award, as well as celebrating award wins with Adwanted including 2025 Best International Media Research Project and 2024 Research Effectiveness.

The Role

MTM is currently offering an internship within the qualitative research team. The role is a 2-3 month full-time role paid at the London Living Wage (or the Real Living Wage if based in our Leeds office).

We value candidates who are willing to get involved and work across a range of our key clients (including the BBC, YouTube, Google, Channel 4, The Football Association, etc.).

You would be helping with a range of tasks, including research, listening to interviews/focus groups, analysis, report writing, and participating in meetings.

There is also the potential opportunity for the role to become permanent if successful, joining the team as a full-time researcher following the internship.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is looking to develop a career in market research and, in particular, within the media and tech industry.
