MediaCom is the biggest media agency in the UK. In fact, it’s one of the biggest agencies in the world, partly due to the fact it’s under the GroupM and WPP network.

Within the first 6 months I was working in the digital team for Universal Just before James Bond: No Time To Die came out. Not only that, but they’re also endlessly encouraging you to upskill yourself, even offering to pay for courses outside of work as at the end of the day it’s benefiting both you and the company.

It is in your employer’s interest to help you succeed and many have formal structures to help you get the most out of your apprenticeship.
Your training provider will also be there to help you. You’ll have monthly catchups you’re your apprenticeship coach and your line manager to see how you are doing and managing the course. If you’re struggling, they’ll put in effective work structures to help you manage comfortably.
