  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I passed my apprenticeship back in January 2024, after starting it in July 2022. It was a Level 4 Sales Executive Apprenticeship, preparing me for my role as a Media Account Executive in Auto Trader's Media Team. My Day-Day is selling, reporting on and optimising Media campaigns for our OEM partners, and building/retaining strong client relationships with both OEM brands and their advertising agencies.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • So many skills. I started AutoTrader and my apprenticeship with DBC Training back in July 2022 as a shy 18 year old who was completely new to work ; let alone the world of sales, advertising, media and the automotive industry. Now, I am 21, I love my job and my passion is media and advertising! I have grown so much personally and professionally in that time that it almost seems to much to even touch on!

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I really enjoyed my programme. I am based in London and our head office is in Manchester, so I loved travelling up there for learning sessions and to spend time with my cohort across the range of early careers projects I got involved with. I had hybrid sessions with my apprenticeship coach and she taught me all of my course content. I used to really enjoy our sessions and learnt lots.
