Senior Marketing Executive Review

As a Senior Marketing Executive, I help stakeholders within Commercial divisions deliver their marketing outputs internally and externally. This involves working closely with my wider Marketing team to help create these outputs including events, day-to-day collateral, and wider campaigns.

Through my apprenticeship, I have learnt and developed a range of skills including stakeholder management, project management and marketing planning frameworks that help me within my day-to-day work. I have been able to share this knowledge with my peers which has been beneficial when working as a team.

I enjoyed the style of learning and flexibility that my apprenticeship offered. Being able to continue working a 4 day week then having 1 study day allowed me to focus on my tasks using the knowledge I had gained from that week. As my studying and lessons were all virtual, I was able to do my studying at home which I enjoyed.

My 18 month programme was very well structured, broken down into 12 months of monthly lessons and workbook tasks, with a 6 month assessment period at the end including a written project plan, multiple choice test, and professional discussion.

I received a lot of support from my employer, having weekly 1-2-1s with my manager and mentor who was very involved in what tasks I had, and easing workload if needed. As part of the apprenticeship programme my manager had to review and sign my completed work, meaning she had complete oversight of what my apprenticeship entailed.

My training provider was very supportive, keeping the same teacher throughout the whole course so we were familiar with them, and always offering additional support after the monthly lessons if needed, especially during the assessment period to ensure we stayed on track.

I feel my qualification has provided me with the additional skills, knowledge and behaviours to excel in the workplace and in my role. It has allowed me to progress in my role from a Marketing Executive to Senior Marketing Executive, and has provided added value when interacting with internal and external stakeholders, something that is a big part of my current role.

There are many groups, initiatives and events to get involved in at work to allow you to be social and network with people across the business.

Savills is a great workplace and employer that really cares and supports their employees. As someone who joined Savills half-way through their apprenticeship, they were so accommodating and offered support and guidance straight away to ensure the transition over from my previous company was as smooth as possible. Since completing my apprenticeship they have continued to support my progression, making me feel like a valued part of the team.
