1What this role really is

You'll be the engine room for our marketing campaigns, getting stuck into the day-to-day execution across various digital channels. This isn't a strategy role, it's about making things happen, getting campaigns out the door, and then figuring out what worked (and what didn't). You'll be working closely with the Senior Marketing Executive to really nail the details.

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.

Email Open Rate
The percentage of people who open your marketing emails.
Target · Consistently above 25% for promotional emails, 40%+ for nurture sequences.

If you send an email to 1,000 people and 280 open it, that's a 28% open rate. We'd be happy with that.

Landing Page Conversion Rate
The percentage of visitors who complete the desired action on a landing page (e.g., download an ebook, fill a form).
Target · Above 3% for lead generation pages, 10%+ for content downloads.

If 500 people visit your new webinar landing page and 20 sign up, that's a 4% conversion rate. That's a solid effort.

MQLs Generated (per campaign)
The number of Marketing Qualified Leads (people who've shown enough interest to be passed to sales) that your campaigns bring in.
Target · 50+ MQLs per major campaign you lead.

Your latest ebook campaign brought in 65 MQLs. That's a win, especially if they're good quality.

Social Media Engagement Rate
How much interaction (likes, comments, shares) your social media posts get relative to your audience size.
Target · Minimum 2% engagement rate on key platforms.

A post with 1,000 reach and 30 engagements (likes, comments, shares) is a 3% engagement rate. Keep that up!

Campaign Quality & Execution
How well your campaigns are put together, from the brief to the final send. Are there typos? Are the links broken? Is the messaging clear?
  • Feedback from your manager and the creative team on briefs. Minimal errors in live campaigns. Campaigns launching on time and looking polished. Clear, concise copy that aligns with our brand voice.
Stakeholder Feedback & Collaboration
How effectively you work with other teams, especially Sales and Product, to make sure your campaigns are relevant and supported.
  • Positive comments from Sales about lead quality or campaign support. Product team actively providing input for your campaigns. You're seen as easy to work with and responsive.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to spot issues before they become big problems and suggest solutions, rather than just waiting to be told what to do.
  • You flag a potential issue with a campaign's targeting before it goes live. You notice a dip in email performance and suggest an A/B test to fix it. You don't just report problems, you come with ideas.
Learning & Development
Your commitment to improving your marketing skills and staying on top of industry trends.
  • You're actively asking questions, seeking feedback, and completing relevant training. You're bringing new ideas to the table based on what you've learned. You're not making the same mistakes twice.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing Direct Impact

You love launching a campaign and then watching the numbers come in—the email opens, the landing page conversions, the MQLs. You get a real kick out of seeing your work directly contribute to business growth.

That moment when you see the sales team close a deal with a lead generated by *your* webinar campaign? That's what gets you out of bed.

Learning & Experimenting

You're always keen to try out a new feature on a social platform, test a different email subject line, or read up on the latest SEO trends. You enjoy the process of learning what works and what doesn't.

You're the first to volunteer to test a new AI content tool or to analyse a competitor's latest campaign to see what we can learn.

Crafting Compelling Messages

You genuinely enjoy the process of writing persuasive ad copy, engaging social media posts, or clear, benefit-driven email content. You care about the words and how they make people feel.

You'll spend that extra 10 minutes tweaking a headline because you know a great one can make all the difference to click-through rates.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Black Hole' of Sales: You'll generate what you think are brilliant, high-quality MQLs, only to see them sit untouched in the CRM because the sales team claims they're 'low quality.' It's frustrating when your hard work doesn't get followed up.
  • Garbage In, Garbage Out: Trying to run sophisticated segmentation and personalisation campaigns when the CRM database is full of duplicates, missing fields, and outdated information. It makes your job much harder than it needs to be.
  • The Last-Minute 'Urgent' Request: Having your meticulously planned weekly or monthly campaign calendar completely derailed by a senior leader's 'great idea' for a webinar next week that suddenly becomes a top priority. Expect your plans to change.
  • The ROI Inquisition: You'll face constant pressure to prove the direct revenue impact of every single marketing activity, especially for things like brand awareness that are harder to tie directly to a sale. It can feel like a constant battle to justify your existence.
  • Algorithm Whiplash: Waking up to find a Google core update or a Facebook algorithm change has tanked your traffic or reach overnight. You'll have to scramble to understand what happened and explain the drop, often with little warning.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine: Expect frequent shifts in priorities and urgent requests.
  • Complete autonomy over strategy: You'll execute, not define, the overarching marketing strategy.
  • Immediate, guaranteed success for every campaign: Some will flop, and you'll need to learn from them.
  • A role where you only work on 'fun' creative tasks: There's plenty of data analysis, reporting, and sometimes tedious admin.

6Who you work with

Your work directly feeds our sales pipeline. Get it right, and we're talking about new customers and revenue. Get it wrong, and we're just making noise. You're a key part of making sure our marketing efforts actually translate into tangible business results, not just pretty pictures.

Inside the business
  • Sales Team (they need those leads, after all)
  • Product Team (you'll market what they build)
  • Creative Team (they'll make your campaigns look good)
  • Senior Marketing Executive / Marketing Manager (your direct boss)
  • Customer Success (they'll tell you how well your messaging landed)
Outside the business
  • Agency Partners (sometimes we use external help for ads or content)
  • Media Buyers (if we're running paid campaigns)
  • Content Creators (freelancers or agencies for specific pieces)

7What you need before you start

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

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience in a marketing role, ideally focused on digital channels.
  • Demonstrable experience running email campaigns from start to finish (copy, build, send, report).
  • Experience managing social media accounts for a business, beyond just personal use.
  • A solid grasp of Google Analytics 4 for pulling basic reports and understanding website traffic.
  • The ability to write clear, engaging marketing copy that resonates with a target audience.
  • A portfolio or examples of campaigns you've worked on and the results you achieved (even if small).

8What to practise next

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

Advanced HubSpot/Marketing Automation

To truly personalise campaigns and automate more complex customer journeys, you'll need to move beyond basic email sends. The platforms are getting more powerful, and we need to use them to their full potential.

Multi-stage nurture workflows · Lead scoring implementation · CRM data hygiene and segmentation

  • This week: Complete HubSpot's 'Email Marketing Certification' if you haven't already.
  • This month: Work with your manager to design and build one new automated nurture workflow.
  • Month 2: Explore HubSpot's custom reporting features and try to build a report that isn't standard.
  • Month 3: Take on a project to clean up a specific segment of our CRM data.

Quick win: Spend an hour each week exploring a new feature in HubSpot that you haven't used before. There's always something new.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Custom Reporting

GA4 is a beast, and just pulling standard reports won't cut it for deep insights. Being able to build custom explorations and understand event-based data is crucial for truly optimising campaigns and proving ROI.

Event-based data model · Custom explorations and funnels · Audience segmentation in GA4

  • This week: Watch Google's official GA4 training videos on custom reports.
  • This month: Try to recreate one of your standard reports using GA4's 'Explore' section.
  • Month 2: Work with a developer (or your manager) to set up one new custom event in GA4.
  • Month 3: Build a custom funnel report in GA4 to track a specific user journey on our website.

Quick win: Spend 15 minutes each day just clicking around GA4's 'Explore' section. You'll stumble upon new ways to look at data.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly reading industry blogs and publications (e.g., Marketing Week, Search Engine Journal, HubSpot Blog) to stay on top of trends.
  • Attending relevant webinars or online courses (many are free!) to deepen your knowledge in specific areas like SEO, email marketing, or social media.
  • Participating in marketing communities or forums to learn from peers and share experiences.
  • Actively seeking feedback from your manager and senior colleagues, and then actually applying it to your work.
  • Taking on small, 'stretch' projects that push you slightly outside your comfort zone and help you learn new skills.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration

Honestly, competitors are already using tools like ChatGPT and Claude to draft reports in 10 minutes that used to take 2 hours. Marketers who figure out how to 'talk' to these AI models effectively will outproduce their peers significantly. This isn't future-gazing; it's happening now.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

Data Storytelling for Marketers

We're drowning in data, but what's the point if no one understands it? Being able to turn complex campaign numbers into a clear, compelling story that persuades stakeholders (like Sales or Product) is becoming absolutely critical. It's not enough to just present charts; you need to explain what they mean and why it matters.

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 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

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:

Social Media MarketingLevel 4

The objective of this unit is to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilise social media for marketing purposes.

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 lot of marketing work can feel a bit repetitive. Writing endless variations of ad copy, summarising data, or even just drafting emails. Good news: AI is here to take some of that grunt work off your plate, freeing you up for the more strategic, creative stuff. We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about making you much, much more effective.

As a Marketing Executive, you'll find AI tools can become your secret weapon for getting through your to-do list faster. Imagine cutting down the time you spend on first drafts, data analysis, or even just brainstorming. We're actively exploring and investing in these tools, and we expect you to get stuck in and use them to your advantage.

Ad Copy & Content Ideation

Use AI tools (like Jasper or ChatGPT) to generate dozens of variations for ad headlines, email subject lines, and social media posts in minutes. Need blog post ideas based on a single keyword? AI can give you a stack of options to pick from, saving you ages staring at a blank screen.

Performance Data Summarisation

Feed raw campaign data from Google Analytics, HubSpot, or your ad platforms into an AI tool. Ask it to summarise key trends, identify any weird anomalies, and even draft the initial commentary for your weekly performance report. It's like having a junior analyst just for summaries.

Persona & Competitor Research

Use AI to quickly analyse customer reviews, support tickets, and social media comments to help build more detailed customer personas. You can also ask it to crawl competitor websites and summarise their core messaging and value propositions, giving you a quick overview without hours of manual digging.

Campaign Brief & Email Drafting

Give an AI the goal, target audience, and key message for a campaign. It can then generate a solid first draft of a creative brief for the design team or even a complete multi-touch email nurture sequence. You'll still need to edit and refine, but it gets you 80% of the way there in no time.

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 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 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.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

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 gain here – campaign execution, data analysis, content creation, digital channel management – are highly transferable. You could easily move into marketing roles in other industries (e.g., SaaS, e-commerce, finance), or even specialise further into agency-side roles, or roles focused purely on specific channels like SEO or Paid Media. Good marketing is good marketing, no matter the product.
