Working within agencies comes with a set of positive & unique experiences outside of the normal singular company apprentice experience. In this article I hope to highlight some of the positives you can expect. I’m currently working in a digital marketing apprenticeship role with a company called THINK we are an agency, this means we handle other companies marketing campaigns and marketing material.
Here’s just some of the benefits I’ve come across:
Refreshing apprentice agency work
It’s always fun to get new briefs, brand guidelines and clients that offer opportunities to create NEW work. Working in an agency allows you to run multiple campaigns with an array of refreshing content.
Client event perks
Clients often hold events these are great networking opportunities for you and the client. These events can also help you understand clients more potentially leading to more accurate marketing content.
GREAT EXPERIENCE!
An apprenticeship that Keeps you on your toes
If you like working in fast paced and engaging enviroments then an agency may just be where you belong, as previously mentioned the the work is refreshing but often it can be challenging.
As a result of fresh and the new content work may be fast however, agencies often come with a well trained team that in turn keeps the process as efficient as possible. Applications like Microsoft Planner, teams, outlook and zoom all help in this effort.
Working Improves portfolio/CV
Even though you may have never directly be under the employment of any of the clients you’ve worked for you can still mention them in your CV. This can look really good when/if you decide to move from your position in your agency.
Conclusion
It’s common knowledge that a digital marketing apprenticeships are already a great option for those who decide to go into further education. However, one thing that isn’t made clear to apprentices is the deeper differences you need to consider and as a result some people can find the work repetitive. when looking into apprenticeships consider if a agency is something you could be interested in.
