Your future team:

Are you curious about how digital ads find the right people at the right time? Do you want to learn how to plan and deliver campaigns that reach millions of students and graduates? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We’re looking for a Paid media apprentice to join our Digital advertising team. You’ll work alongside experienced Paid media executives to support the planning, delivery and optimisation of digital marketing campaigns across platforms like Google Ads, Meta, Spotify, and programmatic display.

You’ll gain hands‑on experience while studying towards a Level 3 Multi‑channel Marketer apprenticeship. This is a fantastic opportunity to kick‑start your career in digital marketing, learning from experts and contributing to real campaigns that make a difference.

A Day in the Life of a Paid Media Apprentice

As a Paid media apprentice your day will be varied and interesting.

You could be reviewing the results of a social media advert, analysing the data to give insights to customers about who interacted with their ad, whilst identifying what we can learn from it.

You may receive a campaign brief and work to uncover audience insights, putting together a suggested media mix to achieve the campaign objectives.

Or you could attend client calls with our account managers, supporting with technical questions and being the trusted advisor on all things paid marketing, sharing your knowledge on social, display and video best practices.

Who we’re looking for:

You don’t need specific experience – just a passion for digital marketing and a willingness to learn and of course be comfortable using digital tools whilst open to learning new ones.

You will be a strong communicator, enjoy working with others and be ready to take ownership of tasks.

A key part of this role is monitoring campaign performance and learning how to analyse data using tools like GA4, so if you are driven by numbers and have an analytical mind, this role would be perfect for you!
