Taylor joined Leap, a digital marketing agency in Chichester, as a Level 3 Digital Marketing apprentice in September 2019. She finished the programme and was promoted to account manager the same week.
Why an apprenticeship
Taylor wanted a route into digital marketing that put her into the work right away — not a route that ran in parallel to it. The Level 3 Digital Marketing apprenticeship pairs an agency placement with a structured qualification on the side, which fit exactly.
What changed across the apprenticeship
In Taylor's own words, the apprenticeship grew her professionally, academically, and personally. Learning while in the industry — rather than learning then trying to get into it — meant every lesson had a live project to land on.
Promoted on completion
Taylor finished the Level 3 apprenticeship and on the Monday of that same week became an account manager at Leap. She now runs client accounts at the agency that took her on as an apprentice.
If you're considering doing an apprenticeship — do it. It's amazing in every single sense. I've grown so much, not only professionally and academically, but also personally. They set you up for life.
