Having grown up abroad, some people would think why come back to the UK? Well, here is why…
… I studied Media Studies and Film Studies for GCSE and knew I wanted to pursue a career centred around creativity and original thinking.
In 2017, I secured my place at Coventry University and studied Advertising and Marketing, where COVID postponed my graduation until 2021. During this time, I secured a 12-month placement at the University Hospital’s Coventry and Warwickshire. There, I was able to put my knowledge of marketing into practice as a Marketing Assistant, taking the lead on managing campaigns, including their “72nd NHS birthday” campaign (my first national campaign!).
Fast forward to 2022, and I came across We Are Group on Indeed. They were looking for a Marketing Campaign Executive for one of their main projects – the Department for Education’s (DfE) Skills Bootcamps in Digital Marketing. I have always tried to implement the words of divine timing into my daily routines, and at the time, this seemed like one of those moments. Yet, I felt sceptical about whether I was the right fit for this role, but after some encouragement, I went for it.
After two interviews, I received a call from HR offering me the job. It was a pinch-me moment!
Almost a year later, and completely immersed in the DfE project, I have helped to onboard more than 400 learners onto our Digital Marketing bootcamps, through the campaigns and social media posts that I have created.
Working at We Are Group and being assigned to this project has allowed me to learn so much, and I get to work with some truly incredible people.
I also feel very respected and recognised at We Are Group. Coming into a new business is always daunting, especially when you don't know anyone, but I have never felt more welcomed or supported than I have since joining the company. Like a puzzle piece, I feel like I have fitted in the perfect spot. I look forward to growing within the company and creating more social impact.
