A call to discuss your background and motivation and to assess your fit with the role and the agency’s culture.
2. Job interview (20 minutes)
A discussion with Armand, Associate Director, or with the head of the relevant division, depending on the position. This is an opportunity to learn more about the role, the expected responsibilities, and how we work together.
3. Immersion Day with the Team
Spend a day with the Acmé Homies to get an unfiltered look at the agency’s day-to-day operations. A live case study lets you get a concrete sense of what the role entails. This step is optional for experienced candidates and is included by default in the internship program.
4. Conversation with the founder (15 minutes)
A direct conversation with Aurore Abecassis, founder and CEO of Acmé, to discuss her vision, assess cultural fit, and identify what truly drives the candidate.

6. Job posting and offer
A final meeting with CEO and founder Aurore and Armand, Head of Sales and Associate Director (and the business manager, if applicable), during which the job offer is presented. The candidate may leave the meeting with a job offer.
