3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Content Approval (Standard Posts/Emails)Requires manager review and approval for all content before publishing.Independently drafts and publishes routine content (e.g., blog posts, social media updates) within established brand guidelines; manager reviews for new campaign launches or sensitive topics.Full autonomy for content approval within their workstream; only consults manager on high-risk or cross-departmental communications.
Channel Strategy AdjustmentsSuggests minor adjustments to manager; no independent decision-making.Proposes adjustments to content mix or scheduling on owned channels based on performance data; requires manager approval for significant changes.Designs and implements channel strategy for specific campaigns; makes recommendations for broader strategic shifts to leadership.
Tool/Software SelectionNo input on tool selection; uses assigned tools.Can provide feedback on current tools and suggest minor feature improvements; no authority to select or purchase new software.Researches and recommends new tools or features within their domain; can make purchasing decisions up to £5K with manager approval.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Social Media Engagement Rate
The percentage of your audience that interacts with your social media posts (likes, comments, shares, clicks).
Target · >3% on key platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, X)

If a LinkedIn post gets 100 likes, 10 comments, and 5 shares from 2,000 followers, that's an engagement rate of (100+10+5)/2000 = 5.75%.

Email Open & Click-Through Rate (CTR)
The percentage of recipients who open your emails and the percentage who click on a link within them.
Target · 25% Open Rate / 2.5% CTR (for B2B average, will vary by campaign)

An email sent to 1,000 people gets 250 opens (25%) and 25 clicks (2.5% CTR). If it's consistently below this, we need to rethink subject lines or calls to action.

Content Production & Timeliness
The volume of content produced (e.g., blog posts, social media updates) and its adherence to the agreed content calendar.
Target · Roughly 2 blog posts and 10 social posts delivered per week, 99% on-time.

You'll aim to publish two blog posts by Friday each week and have all social posts scheduled for the following week, hitting these deadlines almost every time. We understand things happen, but consistency is key.

Website Content Performance
How well your blog posts and updated website pages attract visitors and keep them engaged.
Target · Average 2-minute Time on Page for blog content; Bounce Rate < 60% for key pages.

If a new blog post has an average time on page of 1 minute, it suggests people aren't reading it fully, and we'd need to look at the content or layout.

Brand Voice Consistency
Ensuring all communications align with our established brand personality, tone, and style guidelines.
  • Feedback from the Senior Marketing Communications Executive or Head of Marketing confirming that your content 'sounds like us'. Rarely needing significant edits for tone or style. Proactively identifying and correcting 'off-brand' content from other teams.
Proactive Issue Identification
Spotting potential communication problems or opportunities before they become bigger deals, especially on social media or in customer feedback.
  • Bringing potential negative social media comments to your manager's attention with a proposed response. Suggesting content ideas based on emerging industry trends or common customer questions. Flagging outdated messaging on the website.
Quality of Content Execution
The overall quality of your written and visual content, including grammar, clarity, accuracy, and visual appeal.
  • Few to no typos or grammatical errors in published content. Positive feedback from internal reviewers (e.g., Product, Sales) on the clarity and accuracy of your drafts. Content that clearly conveys its message without needing further explanation.
Stakeholder Feedback & Collaboration
How effectively you work with internal teams (like Sales or Product) to gather input and ensure their needs are met in your communications.
  • Sales team members telling your manager that your content is helpful for their conversations. Product team members feeling confident that product updates are accurately represented. You're seen as easy to work with and responsive to reasonable requests.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Words in Action

You get a real kick out of hitting 'publish' on a blog post or seeing your social media campaign go live. You'll be checking engagement rates and comments, genuinely excited to see how your content performs.

You've just launched a new email campaign, and you can't wait to see the open rates and click-throughs come in. You're already thinking about the next iteration based on those initial results.

Mastering Communication Channels

You enjoy diving deep into how different platforms work – whether it's the nuances of LinkedIn's algorithm or optimising email subject lines. You're keen to become the go-to person for specific channel best practices.

You've spent an afternoon researching the latest trends in Instagram Reels and are already brainstorming ways to adapt our content for that format, eager to try something new and see if it sticks.

Making Complex Ideas Simple

You love the challenge of taking a really complex product feature or a dry industry topic and turning it into something engaging and easy for anyone to understand. It's a puzzle you enjoy solving.

The Product team has just explained a new technical feature. Your brain immediately starts working on how to explain its benefit to a non-technical customer in a short, sharp tweet or a simple blog paragraph.

What frustrates people
  • Your beautifully crafted copy will go through a dozen rounds of edits from Sales, Legal, and Product, often ending up as a watered-down, compromise-laden mess.
  • The sales team will inevitably create their own 'marketing' materials with outdated messaging and stretched logos, which you'll only discover when a client forwards it to you.
  • Being asked to 'spin' bad news or make a product failure sound like a strategic pivot – it's part of the job, but it's rarely fun.
  • Dealing with the constant subjectivity of language; everyone's a critic, and everyone has a different opinion on what 'good' looks like.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, solitary work environment where you can just write without interruption – you'll be collaborating and responding constantly.
  • A role where every single piece of content you create goes live exactly as you envisioned it – compromise is a daily reality.
  • A clear, direct line of sight to revenue generation for every single activity – much of comms is about building long-term brand equity, which is harder to measure.
  • A predictable, 9-to-5 schedule every single day – sometimes a crisis or a last-minute request will mean you need to be flexible.

6Who you work with

Your work directly impacts our brand's public perception and engagement levels. You're the one making sure our messaging is clear, compelling, and consistent across various touchpoints. Get it right, and you'll help build brand loyalty and drive interest in what we do. Get it wrong, and we risk confusing our audience or, worse, damaging our reputation. Essentially, you're a key player in how the world sees and interacts with us, day in, day out.

Inside the business
  • Product Marketing Team (for new launches and feature updates)
  • Sales Team (for understanding customer pain points and messaging effectiveness)
  • Customer Success (for feedback on customer sentiment and common questions)
  • Legal & Compliance (for reviewing claims and ensuring adherence to regulations)
Outside the business
  • Social Media Platform Representatives (e.g., LinkedIn, Meta)
  • Content Creation Agencies (occasionally, for specific projects)
  • Email Service Providers (e.g., HubSpot support)
  • Website Hosting Providers (for basic content updates)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (2+ years) in a marketing or communications role, where you were actively involved in content creation and channel management.
  • A strong portfolio or examples of written content (blog posts, social media campaigns, email newsletters) that demonstrate your writing ability and brand voice consistency.
  • Practical experience with at least one major marketing automation platform (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce Marketing Cloud) and one social media management tool (e.g., Sprout Social).
  • A solid grasp of digital marketing fundamentals, including SEO basics and content marketing principles.
  • The ability to work independently on assigned tasks and manage multiple deadlines effectively.

8What to practise next

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

HubSpot/Salesforce Marketing Cloud Optimisation

To move beyond basic email sends, you'll need to understand how to segment audiences more effectively, set up more complex automation workflows, and truly personalise communications at scale. It's about getting more out of the platforms.

Advanced Segmentation Logic · Multi-Step Nurture Workflows · A/B Testing Best Practices

  • This month: Complete a HubSpot Academy certification on email marketing automation or advanced segmentation.
  • Next month: Propose and implement one new audience segment for a specific email campaign.
  • Month 3: Design a simple 3-step nurture workflow for a specific persona or product.
  • Month 4: Take ownership of reporting on email performance, including insights and recommendations.

Quick win: Start experimenting with different subject line lengths and emojis in your next email send, then check the open rates.

Google Analytics (GA4) Custom Reporting

While you can pull standard reports now, the ability to build custom reports in GA4's Explorations hub will be crucial for answering specific business questions and truly understanding user behaviour beyond the default views. It's about getting to the 'why'.

Custom Event Tracking · Audience Segments in GA4 · Explorations Reports

  • This month: Watch a few YouTube tutorials on GA4's 'Explorations' feature and try to recreate a simple report.
  • Next month: Identify one specific user behaviour you want to understand better and try to build a custom report for it.
  • Month 3: Work with a senior team member to set up a new custom event in GA4 for a key call-to-action.
  • Month 4: Present an insight derived from a custom GA4 report to your team during a weekly meeting.

Quick win: Spend 15 minutes each week just clicking around GA4, trying to find new reports or features you haven't used before.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry blogs and publications (e.g., Marketing Week, The Drum, Content Marketing Institute) to stay on top of trends.
  • Attend relevant webinars or virtual conferences on content marketing, social media strategy, or email automation.
  • Actively participate in online marketing communities or forums to learn from peers and share insights.
  • Take online courses (e.g., Coursera, Udemy) to deepen your skills in specific areas like copywriting, SEO, or data analytics for marketing.
  • Seek out opportunities to get feedback on your writing and communication style from mentors or senior colleagues.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Marketing Communications Executive is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Producing Creative Marketing Communications - Advertising Concepts and Solutions for ClientsLevel 4

Applied to your work in Marketing Communications Executive

This unit aims to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to produce creative marketing communications (advertising) concepts and solutions for clients. Learners will understand the key issues involved, be able to identify and agree on client requirements, and develop innovative and effective concepts tailored to meet those needs, incorporating client feedback and justifying their approach.

One to one, not one to many

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a big chunk of marketing communications can feel a bit repetitive. Drafting content, analysing sentiment, or researching competitors often eats up hours that could be better spent on creative strategy. The good news? AI is here to help you get more done, faster, and free up your brain for the truly interesting stuff.

Imagine having a super-smart assistant who can handle the grunt work, leaving you to focus on the nuance, the brand voice, and the strategic impact. That's what AI can do for a Marketing Communications Executive. It won't replace your creativity or your empathy, but it'll certainly make your day-to-day a lot more efficient. We're not talking about magic, just smart tools that help you work smarter.

First Draft Generation

Staring at a blank page? Use tools like Jasper or Copy.ai to whip up multiple first drafts for social media posts, blog outlines, or email subject lines in minutes. Just give it a prompt, and you'll get raw material to refine, saving you from 'blank page syndrome' and giving you a head start.

Sentiment Analysis Automation

Instead of manually sifting through thousands of brand mentions, let AI in tools like Sprout Social automatically categorise them as positive, negative, or neutral. You'll get an instant pulse check on public perception, freeing you from hours of tedious sorting and letting you react faster.

Competitor Messaging Research

Need to know what your rivals are saying? AI-powered research tools can scan and summarise the key messaging themes, content strategies, and recent press announcements from your top competitors. What used to take a full day of digging can now be a 30-minute automated brief, giving you more time for strategy.

Tone & Audience Adaptation

Got a press release you need to turn into a LinkedIn post, three tweets, and a customer email? Paste your draft into ChatGPT or Grammarly Business and ask it to rewrite the core message for different channels and tones. It's like having a team of copywriters at your fingertips, adapting your message instantly.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Marketing Communications Executive, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 12 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Marketing Communications Executive: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

Other roles in Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll build here – strong writing, digital channel management, audience understanding, and data interpretation – are highly transferable. You could easily move into PR, internal communications, demand generation, product marketing, or even content roles in entirely different industries like tech, finance, or retail. Good communicators are always in demand, frankly.
