Strategic Communications Practice

FTI Consulting has offices in every major financial hub and every corner of the globe, enabling us to successfully serve our clients wherever challenges or opportunities arise. Our goal is to protect and enhance a client’s reputation and business value, which we do through designing and executing tailored, integrated and innovation communication strategies. Our offering ranges from advising our clients on financial results and plc news flow to corporate reputation management, thought leadership, brand building, digital strategy and social media engagement.

We are one of the world’s largest, most dynamic and highly regarded global communications consultancies. We offer a broad base of communication disciplines across a variety of specialist sectors including: financial services, retail and consumer, energy, real estate, professional services, technology media telecoms (TMT) and life sciences.

This sector-based model enables us to have exceptional relationships with influential stakeholder audiences relevant for our clients and industries. Drawing upon our unrivalled depth of industry expertise and interdisciplinary experience and using our broad network of relationships with key influencers, we help clients identify, persuade and ensure that the right message reaches the right audience at the right time. In addition to being the No. 1 global M&A communications advisor, we have one of the largest global networks in the market.

FTI Consulting’s Strategic Communications London-based graduate scheme offers you unique experiences that will underpin your career, including:

The opportunity to explore career paths: Graduates rotate between different industry sector teams, providing a unique insight and overview of all your possible career paths within the Strategic Communications practice. Following the nine months of rotations, graduates are invited to submit their preferred specialty choices which will be considered when allocating teams.

Extensive training and mentorship: Throughout the programme, graduates undertake an extensive training programme from leading industry experts and advisors. Our unique structure also provides you with constant exposure to senior colleagues and client representatives from day one.

Exposure across our diverse business: By rotating through our different teams, you gain exposure to a diverse roster of clients, while experiencing unique situations working with small and large companies. From digital, public affairs, change management, international communications and a range of specialist sector teams – you will gain exposure to all areas of our diverse business.

Hands on experience: The graduate role provides the opportunity to work with some of the largest companies across the globe. As a graduate you will gain exceptional and varied experience: undertaking media and digital analysis, arranging promotional events, working with journalists and City analysts, and supporting our client account teams in client delivery, thought leadership and new business activities.

Being part of a cohort: When you join the scheme you will be part of a larger graduate group both within the Communications segment and the wider firm.
