About the role

As a Media Marketing Apprentice, you’re joining at a good time. We’re rebuilding how marketing operates from the ground up, launching a new site, and working through a full rebrand. That means there’s real work to get stuck into from day one, and genuine space to shape how we show up. This role sits at the intersection of video, content and technology: picking up a camera and making things people actually want to watch, while getting under the bonnet of the tools and data that make it all work. Video is central to what we’re building, and this role drives that content forward.

Key responsibilities of the role include

Video and media production

Own video production end to end. That means operating the camera, setting up shots, managing lighting and audio, and editing the final cut.

Direct people on camera. You know how to put someone at ease in front of a lens, guide them through what’s needed, and get a strong result even when they’re not used to being filmed.

Handle the basics of a shoot setup: framing, lighting, audio levels, and being able to problem-solve on the day when things don’t go to plan.

Social media, performance and experimentation

Take ownership of our social channels, keeping them active, on-brand, and worth following. You’ll plan and schedule content, spot what’s gaining traction, and adapt accordingly.

Run experiments. Test different hooks, formats, and posting times. Be willing to kill what isn’t working and double down on what is.

You will need the following skills

Ideally you would have a genuine interest in video and content creation, with some hands-on experience behind a camera. You don’t need a broadcast reel, but you should have shot and edited something.

You can only excel in this role if you are curious, proactive, and genuinely interested in how content and social media work.

Comfortable with data: you don’t need to be an analyst, but you should be able to look at how content performed and draw conclusions from it.

Open to new tools and platforms: you enjoy figuring out how things work and aren’t put off by a growing tech. We use Matomo, Webflow, Canva, HubSpot, Aha!, tl;dv, SE Ranking, n8n, and a growing set of AI tools. You don’t need to know all of these coming in.

Easy to work with: you ask when you’re unsure, take feedback well, and don’t take yourself too seriously.

Here for the right reasons: you want to work in marketing and make the most of real exposure early on.
