wide range of marketing activities that support the growth of our online business.

* Creating and managing marketing campaigns across digital channels
* Social media strategy and content creation
* SEO and web analytics using tools like Google Analytics
* Email marketing and customer segmentation
* Reporting on campaign performance to maximise ROI
You’ll complete live projects, gain insight into user behaviour, and develop the confidence to make informed marketing decisions
based on data.
What We’re Looking For
* A keen interest in marketing, digital trends, and social media
* Great communication and organisational skills
* Willingness to learn, take initiative, and contribute ideas
* GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Maths (Grade 4/C or above preferred)
