Marketing Support Assistant Review

On a day to day basis, i am responsible for a number of digital marketing responsibilities such as social media posts, creating and scheduling email campaigns, managing our CRM system and communicating with my team on these tasks, as well as a number of external people like our vendors and marketing partners.

Since the start of my apprenticeship my skills and knowledge of digital media have improved massively, as well as my knowledge of the business I work for. the sessions i have had with my tutor have been really helpful in building my knowledge and has helped me apply it within my job role too.

Since my new tutor, Chris, has started, I have had immense support in both my training and progression, making the journey much more streamlined and less stressful. I enjoy learning, and having the opportunity to grow my knowledge, as well as being able to document my progression within my portfolio.

My programme is quite structured now, before Chris started, I felt like the programme had minimal structure and support wasn't always there. However Chris has really helped with more sessions, better support and advice when needed. Within my workplace as we are only a SMB the structure can feel a bit hectic sometimes, but i do enjoy the constant workflow.

My employer is quite supportive when it comes to training for the business, however it is down to me to make the time to do training for my apprenticeship work. My manager understands that i require training in the workplace and does reassure that help will be given when asked and my team are quite supportive when it comes to my progression.

My tutor runs three different sessions a week which focus on different elements of the course, these are run at a come as you please pace until we fill ready to complete our exam which is brilliant as i feel like i can absorb the information properly, as well as this, there are multiple resources available to us on teams, and my tutor is always really helpful in answering any questions.

well I have only been in my apprenticeship for 6 months and i have already had lots of opportunities to apply what i learn in my sessions to my role. from learning different strategies to being able to communicate better with out of house professionals and i am also able to apply my thinking to marketing better, for example i dont think 'how' to do something i think about 'what' i will do (lead generation not gaining contacts for example)

With the current situation of Covid-19 my workplace has not had much opportunity to do much outside of work, although we have planned going out for work meals. as far as i am aware we do not take part in any sports activities, but my manager has discussed marketing and supplier meetings as a potential for when i am more experienced.

Yes

I would recommend let me play to a certain extent, i think it all depends on the tutors as i have not dealt with Let me play directly, although i think that with the proper tutors in place, the course does have a decent structure to ensure a fulfilled and beneficial apprenticeship.

I would advise that they continue pushing for help when they need it, and if they are unhappy with their current tutor, to speak up because there are tutors at let me play who are committed to helping you achieve the best grade that you can. i would also advise that they make the most of the resources available to them as it saves a lot of time and effort than searching yourself.
