Digital Marketing Apprentice Review

It was a varied job role. Day-to-day involved managing social media accounts, however there was also involvement in design work for campaigns, video editing, podcast production, press release writing and media management, and updating the website.

I learnt a lot of new skills in this job. I learnt copywriting which helped with the press releases and website updating. I learnt basics of SEO and PR as well. I also developed my skills in social media, video production and editing, and graphic design.

It provided valuable work and learning experience with a range of opportunities to get stuck in.

From the university’s side, not well structured at all. From Healthwatch Essex’s side it was well organised.

The CEO and my manager provided support throughout.

Not much, the university felt as though we were a tick box exercise. The tutors were very helpful with reviewing assignments though.

It gave me a deeper understanding of the theory behind different elements of my work and how elements of digital marketing can be combined and applied together.

Yes, the company held monthly development days for team building exercises. I was also given the opportunity to do work experience elsewhere in my final year.

Yes

Towards the end of my apprenticeship, with some internal structural changes, it was a very pleasant place to work with a lot of opportunities to learn and develop as an employee.
