Keeping client work organised and up to date in ClickUp
Using performance data to understand what is working and help improve future activity
Training:You'll work towards the Level 3 Content Creator apprenticeship, with 13 months of learning followed by End Point Assessment.
The programme is a particularly good fit for this role because it is focused on developing and creating content across digital, social, video, photography and written formats, with an emphasis on audience engagement and using content to support marketing and business objectives.
Alongside your work at List & Found, your structured apprenticeship learning will include areas such as:
The creative and digital marketing industry
Content planning and creation
Social media activity
Copywriting
Media production, including videography and photography
SEO and user experience
Data-driven marketing strategies
Data and analytics tools
Content distribution and audience engagement
The training model includes live online classroom learning, e-learning and workplace activities, regular one-to-one coaching, industry masterclasses and progress reviews involving you, your coach and your line manager.Training Outcome:The expected progression is into a permanent Digital Marketing Executive role. Our previous apprentice(s) followed this route, joining List & Found as an apprentice before progressing into a full-time executive position with increased salary, client responsibility and ownership of campaigns across social media, content, email marketing, SEO and website activity.
We see this apprenticeship in the same way: as the beginning of a long-term career with List & Found rather than a fixed-term training role. As the apprentice develops, they will move from supported delivery into independently managing regular client activity, taking briefs through to completion and developing stronger expertise across digital marketing.Employer Description:We're a Manchester digital agency based at Bonded Warehouse.
We're a small team, and we're proud of that. We work closely with our clients, they trust us, and we care a lot about producing work that genuinely makes a difference to their businesses.
You'll work directly alongside experienced people across SEO, PPC, content, digital strategy and account management. You won't be kept at arm's length from real client work, and you won't spend months simply watching other people do the job.
We work on a hybrid basis, but we genuinely like working together in our Manchester office too.
If you're ambitious, switched on, good with people and excited by the idea of becoming really good at digital marketing, we'd love to hear from you.Working Hours :Monday - Thursday 8.30am - 5.30pm and Friday 8.30am - 3.00pm.Skills: Communication skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Analytical skills,Team working,Creative,Initiative....Read more...
