Digital Content Executive Review

It's been really great, there's been so much support joining as an early careers employee with trainings, inductions, and a mentor; the culture is extremely welcoming; and the opportunities are endless!

My role involves maintaining two websites for VWG brands- updating the content across both from quarterly offers and articles for the brand universes, and facilitating the rollout of new and improved digital tools. I have been enjoying having the opportunity to lead streams that came out of customer research to improve the user journey across the websites.

I get to contribute to and lead lots of exciting new projects alongside my day to day tasks.

There are many benefits that we receive as employees at VWG, from the ECO Car scheme, the opportunity to buy/sell holiday, join in pension scheme and cashback schemes. The proximity of the office to London however means that cost of living is relatively high in the area so the salary could be higher to account for this.

My role exposes me to many different functions and stakeholders across the brands, and my team is always encouraging me to take opportunities to grow outside of my day to day role. I think we receive real responsibility and opportunities, while also receiving great support to learn and make the most of these opportunities.

In my role, I have had great support and advice from my line manager, my mentor, the grad that handed over to me that was previously in my role, and from the other grads in my cohort- the support has been very comprehensive.

The work-life balance for me has been really good- I am always encouraged by my team to leave on time and to take a break at lunch to go for a walk, and I never feel like my work is something that I worry about when I'm at home.

The culture at VWG is extremely welcoming- people are always happy to offer support, advice, or let you shadow them in their roles, and within brands and functions we have various opportunities to contribute towards this culture by supporting new initiatives like deskswaps or socials. The hybrid working here also offers a great balance with 60/40 days in office over the month (generally 3 days a week in office).

There are various Employee Network Groups at VWG that support women, carers, enabling accessibility, driving LGBTQIA+ support and more that anyone can join.

The culture, people, brands, and opportunities.

I was slightly unsure about what my role would entail, but as I joined the Marketing and Customer Experience Grad scheme, I think my role and future rotations across the business offer a very comprehensive learning experience that is exactly what I was looking for (working in digital marketing, performance marketing, and customer experience).
