Apprenticeship programmes have transformed the hiring process for junior marketing staff for me, offering undeniable benefits such as increased productivity, cost-effectiveness, and fresh perspectives. The apprentices’ willingness to learn injects new life into the team and improves management and marketing skills. Partnering with companies like The Marketing Trainer enhances the success of apprentices, making it a game-changing strategy for businesses.

Recruiting the right marketing support felt overwhelming and time-consuming, especially in an area outside our expertise. Working with The Marketing Trainer removed that uncertainty completely. Our apprentice has since transformed our marketing — growing social media, creating campaigns that generate real client enquiries, and becoming a confident, proactive member of the team. The structured training and ongoing support have clearly strengthened both their development and the overall impact they bring to our business.

The Marketing Trainer has supported our business by offering apprenticeships in digital marketing and customer care. This has been a great way to scale our business whilst being able to offer opportunities to students who want to learn and succeed in what they are doing within our business. Mitch is an enthusiastic teacher, an excellent communicator, a consummate professional in his field, and importantly was excellent at supporting our apprentices and the businesses’ needs.

Over the course of his apprenticeship, Davide has grown into a highly reliable and strategic analyst whose work delivers real value. From streamlining key data processes to leading impactful reporting projects, his attention to detail and analytical thinking have stood out. His confidence, collaboration, and ability to turn data into clear, actionable insight have made him a genuine asset to the team.

Before our apprentice joined, our communications lacked consistency and direction. She quickly brought structure, creativity, and focus — strengthening our social media, improving messaging, and even supporting a fundraising campaign that raised over £8,500. Her confidence and professionalism have grown hugely, and she’s become an integral part of the team, bringing fresh ideas and real impact to our work.
