The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Target · >98%

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning and Growth

You love soaking up new tools and strategies, asking smart questions, and actively seeking feedback. You'll often research best practices in your own time.

You've just finished setting up a new email sequence and immediately ask your manager for feedback, then spend an hour watching HubSpot tutorials to refine your technique.

Seeing Tangible Results

You get a real buzz from seeing campaigns you helped launch go live, or watching the numbers tick up in a report you pulled. Knowing your work has a direct impact is motivating.

You've scheduled a social media campaign, and when it launches, you're checking the engagement rates, feeling proud of the posts you helped coordinate.

Being Part of a Team

You enjoy contributing to a shared goal, supporting your colleagues, and celebrating team wins. You're happy to help out where needed, seeing yourself as a key part of the marketing machine.

You proactively offer to help a colleague with a tight deadline, even if it's not strictly your task, because you know it helps the whole team hit its targets.

What frustrates people
  • Why do we still use that old system for X? (Even though it works, it's not shiny and new).
  • I just spent two hours fixing these UTMs because someone forgot to add them.
  • Another urgent request that completely changes the plan for today.
  • The designer sent the wrong file version again.
What this role does not give you
  • Immediate strategic influence or decision-making power.
  • A completely predictable, unchanging daily routine.
  • Sole ownership of major campaign outcomes from start to finish.

8Who you work with

Your work ensures our digital campaigns are deployed accurately and on schedule, directly supporting lead generation and brand awareness goals. Without your meticulous execution, campaigns would stall, and our ability to measure success would be compromised.

Inside the business
  • Global Digital Marketing Specialist
  • Digital Marketing Specialists
  • Content Writers
  • Graphic Designers
  • Sales Team

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A genuine interest in digital marketing and how brands connect with people online.
  • Basic computer literacy, including proficiency with standard office software (e.g., Microsoft Office or Google Workspace).
  • A willingness to learn new software and processes quickly.
  • Strong organisational skills—you can keep track of multiple tasks without getting overwhelmed.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Basic AI-Powered Analytics Interpretation

AI is increasingly built into platforms like GA4 and our ad tools, automatically highlighting trends and anomalies. You'll need to understand what these insights mean, not just read them.

Anomaly Detection · Predictive Insights · Data Storytelling

  • This week: Pay attention to any AI-generated insights or summaries in Google Analytics or Sprout Social.
  • This month: Ask your specialist to explain one AI-generated insight and what action they'd take.
  • Month 2: Try to predict a campaign's performance based on early data, then compare your prediction to any AI insights.
  • Month 3: Read up on basic statistical concepts like correlation vs. causation, so you don't misinterpret AI findings.

Quick win: Use AI to summarise complex analytics reports into bullet points, helping you grasp the core message faster.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry blogs like Search Engine Journal, HubSpot Blog, or Marketing Week to stay on top of trends.
  • Attend free webinars or online workshops on digital marketing topics.
  • Experiment with new social media features or content formats in your personal capacity.
  • Actively seek feedback from your manager and colleagues to identify areas for growth.
  • Network with other junior marketers to share learnings and insights.
