The Smarter Way to Grow Your Marketing Team
Hire driven junior marketers with built-in expert training — increase output, reduce strain on your team, and grow long-term marketing capability without the usual hiring risk.
Is your marketing team feeling the pressure?
Are you…
- Juggling too many marketing tasks with not enough hands?
- Losing time on execution instead of focusing on strategy?
- Struggling to find junior marketers who actually stick?
- Relying on agencies but not building in-house capability?
- Looking for a practical way to grow your marketing function?
If any of this sounds familiar, a marketing apprentice could be a smarter way to add capacity and keep momentum moving.

Just Some Success Stories
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.

Funding & Costs — Made Simple
Most employers pay very little — if at all — towards apprenticeship training.
SMEs (typically under £3m payroll):
Training is usually 95–100% government funded, with only a small employer contribution in some cases.
Larger organisations:
You may already have an Apprenticeship Levy pot that can cover the full cost of training.
Funding rules can vary slightly depending on your situation — but don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it clearly.

What’s Expected from Employers?
Hiring a marketing apprentice isn’t about “teaching from scratch” or constantly supervising — it’s much closer to hiring a junior marketer.
You’ll provide day-to-day direction, feedback, and real work to support their development, while we handle the structured training and guidance behind the scenes. Most employers find the commitment far lighter than they expected — you’re simply helping shape someone’s growth as part of your team, not running a classroom.

CIM Qualifications — A Real Advantage
Most providers stick to the minimum. We embed Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualifications directly into our programmes — with a 98% distinction rate to prove the impact.
For employers, that means apprentices developing recognised professional standards, stronger marketing capability, and skills that translate straight into real work.
✅ Industry-recognised training
✅ More confident, capable marketers
✅ Added credibility for your team
(CIM is the world’s leading professional body for marketing — cim.co.uk)
