Altitude Marketing, a leading marketing agency based in Loughborough, is taking the time this National Apprenticeship Week to celebrate the success and achievements of its talented apprentices, who have played a pivotal role in shaping the future of the company and advancing their own careers.
As a startup that has just celebrated its third anniversary, Altitude understands the vital role apprenticeships can play in supporting the growth of small businesses. For startups and SMEs, apprentices bring fresh ideas, energy, and adaptability, qualities that are crucial in a fast-moving business environment. By investing in apprentices, companies can build a strong, skilled workforce from within while offering young professionals the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and develop essential industry skills.
Tiegan’s success story has been a testament to the opportunities apprenticeships can offer. After starting her apprenticeship journey as a digital marketing apprentice in 2018, she has risen through the ranks and now sits alongside the senior leadership team as Account Director at Altitude. She explains
”My digital marketing apprenticeship gave me a strong foundation in areas like content creation, SEO, and campaign management, but the most impactful skill I gained was learning to analyse data to track campaign performance and make informed decisions to adjust strategies to improve results, which has been crucial when managing multiple accounts. If you're considering an apprenticeship, go for it, be open-minded, ask questions, and stay curious. It's a brilliant way to gain hands-on experience and build a successful career in marketing, and it has been invaluable in my development.”
Amber, a current Marketing Apprentice at Altitude, echoed these sentiments. Amber’s apprenticeship experience has also provided her with a clear pathway to achieve her long-term career goals:
“The apprenticeship has given me the opportunity to learn everything I need to know about marketing while gaining workplace experience. I believe it is important for this industry and others to learn the content on the course while learning how to do the job. It has given me the experience of every sector within the marketing industry. Having the skills to go into any specific part of digital marketing means I have the chance to try everything to find my favourite and make an informed decision about my future career path.”
Tom Bates, Co-Founder at Altitude Marketing, explains:
“At Altitude, we believe that apprenticeships are more than just a career stepping stone; they’re a launchpad for success. Our apprentices not only bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the team but also inspire others with their drive and ambition. Many of our team members have joined us through apprenticeships, and it’s been incredible to see them grow, thrive, and make a lasting impact within the company.”
