Applications for The Table 2023 are now open

Once upon a noughties, four people sat around Charles Vallance’s kitchen table and made a pact to start an agency that challenged everything. With the founding principles of simplicity, collaboration, un-preciousness, and integration around ideas, VCCP was born. On that very day, at that very table.

A few hundred employees later, we continue to search for people with just one important characteristic; a passion for challenging everything in the pursuit of the brilliant. If that sounds like you, no matter who you are, what experience you have or where you’re from, there could well be a chair at the table for you.

Applications are now OPEN for The Table.

Our entry level programme for those looking to kick start their career in advertising. The form can be found here.

The Table is a non rotational scheme that is a year long. If successful, you'll be placed in a team in the VCCP London office for a year and gain experience in what it’s like to work with some of the biggest brands in the world.
