Mediaworks Continues Local Recruitment Drive

After experiencing continued growth and client retention, award-winning digital marketing agency Mediaworks is expanding its team - and drawing on the North East's local talent pool to do so.

As a digital marketing agency, we fully understand that our success is a result of the hard work and dedication of our team. Without them, the exceptional results we deliver for our clients simply wouldn’t be possible. Due to the outstanding performance of our team, the business has recently enjoyed incredible success, both in terms of client retention and business growth. As we continue to add stellar brands to our ever-expanding client portfolio, we’ve had to reinforce our team with some of the North East’s brightest talent. We strongly believe in talent development — that’s why we offer a successful apprenticeship scheme, which is now in its fourth year. Former apprentices have developed into some of the region’s brightest marketing talent, enjoying much success within the industry, and our latest recruits are set to follow in their footsteps.

We have recently welcomed four apprentices to our business, working across our content, paid search and outreach teams. With another set to arrive in September, we are firm believers in our local talent pool and are confident our new team members will bring fresh ideas and new skills to our team. For the first time, we’re also offering a degree apprenticeship this year, which will see a degreelevel apprentice join our Insights team as a Data Analyst at our Newcastle HQ. We’ll cover the candidate’s tuition fees as they study towards a Digital and Technology Solutions BSc (Hons) Degree Apprenticeship from Northumbria University, splitting their time between working and studying. Running alongside our apprenticeship programme, we’re also proud to launch our graduate scheme for the very first time in 2017.

We are currently recruiting for a Graduate Paid Search Executive and Graduate Search Engine Optimisation Executive to work alongside our existing paid and organic search teams. Further roles are set to become available as part of this scheme in the coming weeks. Speaking of the graduate scheme, Mediaworks’ Managing Director Brett Jacobson said: “The north has proven itself time and time again as a powerhouse of industry, yet unfortunately some graduates still feel like they have to relocate further south to find digital marketing opportunities. We want to change this by offering local graduates the chance to work alongside some of the biggest brands. “2017 marks 10 years since Mediaworks was established, so it seemed like the right time to establish such a scheme. Alongside our successful apprenticeship scheme, we have and will continue to support the region’s brightest talent.” In addition to our apprenticeship and graduate scheme, our continued growth has driven further recruitment across the business. We have welcomed over 60 new recruits in the past 6 months to support Mediaworks’ continued success.
