What attracted me to the tree?
I’ve been passionate about getting into a career in digital media for as long as I can remember. When I was given the chance to join the tree as an apprentice, it couldn’t have been a more perfect opportunity. There’s a great vibe here and the team is so friendly, creative, and full of knowledge, making the agency a really great place to work, learn and grow.
My experience
I began my career as a Digital Marketing Apprentice, following the completion of my A-Levels at Sixth Form. Prior to joining the tree, I participated in in a summer programme to create campaigns for local businesses and managed my own blog discussing what’s going on in TV and Film. During my apprenticeship, I was completely submerged in all social and digital media and got the opportunity to work across some really cool brands.
Now, as a Digital Account Exec, I work across multiple B2B and B2C accounts and am exposed to a broad range of services including social media, email marketing, CMS operation, web updates and have been involved in some pretty cool projects. It’s safe to say that I do a little bit of everything here.
