Marketing Apprentice Review

Marketing Executive apprentice - Brief campaigns into internal Automation teams, work alongside external agencies, manage team budget, Brain storm new ideas with key stakeholders such as PMM (Product Marketing Managers) attend Go To Markets, Support on NCA marketing.

Communication and presentation skills have been developed massively thanks to the support I have received from my team mates and manager. Sage grants you access to LinkedIn learning which is also great for learning new skills.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I feel the apprenticeship was not structured well from a learning standpoint with the day release learning - For my final exams I learned more myself through online material and working with another apprentice than I did throughout the course. This needs to be changed for future apprentices.

My employer has been great throughout the apprenticeship - Offered support through frequent 121s.

I had a basic understanding, however I feel I would have failed my exams without my own research and knowledge - I ended up passing with a distinction which I was pleased with but having 2 course leaders throughout the apprenticeship both teaching complete different ways was not a good experience.

I feel the qualification is important too alongside doing the job, but as mentioned it would be a higher star rating if I felt satisfied with the training I received than doing self learning in my own time.

Networking events at LinkedIn and Meta which were very insightful - got the opportunity to travel down to London from Newcastle to support with the Business Show 2022.

Yes

Because there is a lot of opportunity to grow within Sage, I joined when I was 16 and have been here for 5 years and cannot imagine working at a different company, the benefits are great and they listen to staff feedback and act through Glint surveys quarterly.

Be yourself, do research and be passionate.
