Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My day typically revolves around optimising content and ensuring that businesses stay visible across digital platforms. I spend a lot of time doing SEO, researching keywords, tweaking website copy, and analysing analytics to boost search rankings. Social media is also a part of my routine, where I create engaging content, schedule posts, and interact with our followers to build a stronger community. Copywriting is another key aspect of my role, whether it’s writing blog posts, social media captions, or putting together award entries. Every day is different, but it’s exciting to see how my efforts have helped to drive growth for businesses.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very engaging and fun.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I’ve definitely learned a lot of new skills during my apprenticeship and beyond. Before starting, I had no experience in digital marketing and had never even heard of SEO. Now, I feel confident in my abilities.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Through no fault of Adopstar (my employer), there were several occasions where lessons were cancelled last minute with no cover. However, when this did happen, Adopstar were supportive in encouraging me to use that time to research or complete any outstanding studies I had to do for my apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Adopstar have been an incredible support throughout my apprenticeship. During my time I was lucky to have a Head of Training to report to with queries and guidance in the office.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It gave me a depth of knowledge of my role and the marketing world to successfully support my clients.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are often company days which include buffet style lunches, weekly 15 minute chats called “donuts” where we are randomly paired up with another member of the team to get to know them better, we attend awards nights as a team and go to several networking events.
