Continuing our Scottish Apprenticeship Week series, we’re hearing from another of our Creative and Digital Media Modern Apprentices, Megan. From the trio of MAs currently at Crunchy Carrots, Megan’s been with us the longest. In this latest blog, she’s detailed her experience so far for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!
Things learned and developed
Undertaking a Creative Media Modern Apprenticeship with Crunchy Carrots has widened my knowledge of digital marketing and beyond, with modules covering things from email marketing to keyword optimisation. Doing these knowledge-based units alongside working has allowed me to put my learning into practice. The modules vary with some requiring evidence and others being purely knowledge based, they allow me to test my existing skills and test out new ones.
The modules have been imperative to my role as I’ve applied many aspects of them to my everyday work at Crunchy Carrots where I manage multiple clients’ social media accounts, create monthly newsletters and much more!
Challenges faced
The biggest challenge that I’ve faced throughout my apprenticeship is tackling things I haven’t before – such as keyword optimisation – however, the mentors are great guides and will help you with any areas you are unsure on!
Overall thoughts
Overall, being a part of the Modern Apprenticeship scheme at Crunchy Carrots has been amazing for my growth as a digital marketer and I have learned a vast amount in the year I have been in the company! For anyone looking to kickstart their career in digital marketing or creative media, I highly recommend undertaking a Modern Apprenticeship, as it equips you with both the knowledge and practical skills you need to grow and develop in your role.
