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 recipients who open our marketing emails.
Target · Consistently above 25% for general campaigns and 40% for segmented lists.

If you send an email to 10,000 people and 2,800 open it, that's a 28% open rate. We'd want to see that consistently or improving.

Social Media Engagement Rate
The average percentage of followers who interact with our social media posts (likes, comments, shares).
Target · Maintain a minimum of 3% across our main platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram).

A post gets 30 likes and 5 comments from 1,000 followers, that's 3.5% engagement. We're looking for quality interactions, not just reach.

Website Traffic (Organic & Referral)
The number of visitors coming to our website from search engines and other websites.
Target · Achieve a 10% quarter-over-quarter growth in organic and referral traffic.

If we had 10,000 organic visitors last quarter, we'd be aiming for 11,000 this quarter. Your SEO efforts and content promotion will directly affect this.

Landing Page Conversion Rate
The percentage of visitors to a specific landing page who complete the desired action (e.g., fill out a form, download an asset).
Target · Maintain an average conversion rate of 5% across key landing pages.

If 200 people visit your new ebook landing page and 10 download it, that's a 5% conversion rate. You'll be optimising these pages to hit this.

Campaign Accuracy & Compliance
How accurately and compliantly campaigns are executed, including correct targeting, UTM tracking, and adherence to brand guidelines and GDPR.
  • Zero instances of incorrect email sends or broken links in live campaigns. All campaigns have correct UTM parameters. No GDPR complaints related to your work. Positive feedback from the manager on attention to detail in campaign setup.
Proactive Optimisation Suggestions
Your ability to identify opportunities for improvement in your channels and propose concrete solutions, rather than just executing tasks.
  • Regularly bringing data-backed ideas to team meetings. Identifying a low-performing ad and suggesting a new creative. Spotting a trend in social engagement and proposing a new content series. Your manager asking 'what do you think we should do here?'
Learning & Skill Application
How quickly and effectively you learn new tools, methodologies, and adapt to changes in the digital marketing landscape.
  • Successfully applying a new feature in HubSpot to a campaign without extensive hand-holding. Demonstrating understanding of a new GA4 report type. Sharing insights from a marketing webinar you attended. Your manager noting your increased independence on new tasks.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing Direct Impact

You'll get a real buzz from seeing your email campaign hit a 30% open rate, or watching website traffic spike after you publish a new blog post. You'll love tracking the numbers and seeing how your work directly contributes to our goals.

Monitoring the daily lead count in HubSpot and knowing that the campaign you set up yesterday is bringing in new prospects.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You're naturally keen to learn new digital marketing techniques, tools, and platform updates. You enjoy experimenting with new features and figuring out how to make them work for our campaigns. The idea of staying still in this field sounds boring to you.

Spending an hour each week exploring new features in GA4 or reading up on the latest SEO algorithm changes, then trying to apply them.

Structured & Organised Work

You appreciate having clear processes and guidelines for your work. You enjoy setting up organised campaign structures, clean data, and well-documented reports. A bit of healthy routine within the dynamic world of marketing actually appeals to you.

Taking pride in a perfectly organised content calendar or a meticulously tracked campaign in Asana, knowing it makes everyone's life easier.

What frustrates people
  • Getting stuck with all the unglamorous, repetitive, but critical work like cleaning email lists or manually uploading data, while others focus on 'strategy'.
  • The 'urgent' last-minute request from a senior leader that completely derails your planned work for the day.
  • Spending hours trying to prove the ROI of your channels, only to realise half the conversions aren't tracked properly because of missing UTMs or broken scripts.
  • Subjective feedback on creative: pouring hours into designing a great ad visual, only to have a stakeholder say, 'I don't know... I just don't like the colour blue. Can we try green?'
What this role does not give you
  • Full strategic autonomy from day one – you'll be executing, not setting the overall vision.
  • A completely predictable, unchanging routine – digital marketing is always evolving.
  • The ability to ignore data and just 'go with your gut' – everything needs to be backed by numbers.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to attract new customers and keep existing ones engaged online. You're making sure our brand message gets out there, our website traffic grows, and we're generating the right kind of leads for the sales team. Get it right, and we grow. Get it wrong, and we're just shouting into the void, wasting time and money.

Inside the business
  • Marketing Manager (your direct boss)
  • Sales Team (they need good leads from you)
  • Content Team (you'll be publishing their work)
  • Product Team (you'll market their new features)
Outside the business
  • Digital advertising platforms (Google Ads, Meta Ads)
  • Email Service Providers (HubSpot)
  • Social Media platforms

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 digital marketing role, where you've actually run campaigns or managed channels.
  • Demonstrable experience with at least two of our core tools: HubSpot, GA4, Sprout Social, or SEMrush. We need you to hit the ground running with these.
  • A portfolio or examples of previous digital marketing work (e.g., campaign reports, social media content, email examples).
  • A solid understanding of basic marketing principles – you know what a target audience is and why it matters.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced HubSpot Automation & Segmentation

To truly personalise our customer journeys and scale our marketing efforts, we need to move beyond simple email sends. Mastering HubSpot's automation features will allow us to create more sophisticated lead nurturing, better lead scoring, and highly targeted campaigns.

Multi-stage workflow design (e.g., lead nurturing · Advanced list segmentation using multiple criteria · Implementing lead scoring models to identify sales · A/B testing workflows and entire email sequences · Reporting on workflow performance and impact

  • This week: Explore HubSpot's workflow library and try to rebuild one of our existing simple workflows with more steps.
  • This month: Take HubSpot's 'Marketing Automation' certification course.
  • Month 2: Propose and build a new, small-scale lead nurturing workflow for a specific content asset.
  • Month 3: Work with your manager to implement a basic lead scoring model in HubSpot.

Quick win: Find one repetitive task you do in HubSpot and see if you can automate it with a simple workflow, even if it's just updating a contact property.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Custom Reporting & Debugging

GA4 is a powerful, event-driven platform, but it's also more complex than Universal Analytics. To get meaningful insights, you'll need to go beyond the standard reports and be able to troubleshoot tracking issues. This is critical for accurate campaign measurement.

Understanding the event-driven data model in GA4 · Creating and modifying custom events and conversio · Building advanced 'Exploration' reports (e.g., Pat · Using Google Tag Manager (GTM) for event implement · Identifying and troubleshooting common GA4 trackin

  • This week: Spend an hour in GA4's 'Explorations' section, trying to build a custom report you'd find useful.
  • This month: Take a dedicated online course on GA4, focusing on custom events and reporting.
  • Month 2: Work with a developer (or your manager) to set up one new custom event in GTM for a specific website interaction.
  • Month 3: Practice debugging a GA4 tracking issue using browser developer tools and GTM's preview mode.

Quick win: Set up one new custom event in GA4 for something simple, like a button click on a key landing page, and check if it's tracking.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly follow key digital marketing blogs and industry news (e.g., Search Engine Land, Marketing Week, HubSpot Blog).
  • Attend relevant webinars and online workshops on new tools or techniques.
  • Participate in online marketing communities or forums to learn from peers.
  • Take advantage of any internal training programmes we offer.

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 for Marketing Content

Competitors are already using tools like ChatGPT and Jasper to draft ad copy, email subject lines, and even blog outlines in minutes. Marketers who can effectively 'talk' to these AIs will outproduce peers and generate more creative options for A/B testing.

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

11Where this role leads

Pay & demand

The figure is the median for full-time employees in the ONS occupation this job title codes to (Marketing associate professionals), from the April 2025 survey — about six months old when published, as ASHE always is. It is that occupation's middle, not this role's. Half earn more.

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 Digital Marketing Assistant 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

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, digital marketing can be a bit of a grind sometimes. Repetitive tasks, endless content ideas, and sifting through data can eat up your day. But what if you could shave off hours every week, freeing you up for more impactful, creative work? That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing your job; we're talking about giving you a superpower. Imagine having an assistant that drafts ad copy, summarises reports, or even brainstorms content ideas in seconds. That's the reality of AI in this role. You'll still be the brains, the strategist, the one with the human touch, but the grunt work? Let AI handle a big chunk of that.

AI Copywriting Assistant

Use tools like Jasper or ChatGPT to generate multiple variations of ad copy, email subject lines, and social media captions. It's brilliant for overcoming writer's block or getting a quick first draft, giving you more options for A/B testing and saving you precious time.

AI Performance Summariser

Feed raw data exports from Google Analytics or social platforms into an AI tool and ask it to 'summarise the key takeaways and identify three performance trends from this data.' This speeds up the analysis phase of reporting dramatically, letting you focus on what the numbers actually mean.

AI Content & Keyword Ideation

Struggling for blog post topics or fresh social media themes? Use AI to brainstorm ideas, generate outlines based on a target keyword, or create clusters of related keywords for your SEO strategy. It helps fill the content calendar much faster and ensures you're covering relevant topics.

AI-Assisted Scheduling & Optimisation

Some advanced social media management tools (and even some standalone AI apps) can suggest optimal posting times based on your audience's activity. While you'll still make the final call, this can give you a data-backed head start on when your content will perform best.

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 Digital Marketing Assistant, 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 20 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 Digital Marketing Assistant: 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.
