SO Marketing celebrates team growth

We’re excited to celebrate our team’s growth within the last year. Since June 2020, we have increased the headcount by three, offering jobs to young local talent. 

With an increase of people wanting to learn digital skills and have access to the best digital processes for their marketing and business strategy, we turned to the generation of digital natives to help us pave the way. There’s an increase of interest in digital marketing in particular and this new service has seen us add two new members to the team. Chelsea, our Marketing Manager and Rebecca, our Digital Marketing Executive have both grown up using social media and digital platforms so bring a fresh take on marketing which our clients love. Both chose to stay local instead of moving away to the bigger cities where jobs like the ones we’ve created are more proliferate. 

Tiago, our Web Support Apprentice, is straight out of Westwood College and chose to stay local and complete an apprenticeship with us. Creating an opportunity to help young people enter the world of work and formally learn alongside gaining a commercial skillset is what we’re passionate about. We have had great success with apprentices in the past with them choosing to stay on in full-time roles with us. 

Being seen as a truly progressive employer that cultivates a supportive culture of learning and development really helps us to attract the best young talent in the areas. We’ve become an aspirational brand for people to work with due to our success with winning great clients and house-hold name brands. Ultimately, we are only as strong as the team and investing into their development enables us to develop further as a business. 

James Aberley, Senior Partner, states “We are so pleased with continued growth specifically in our digital marketing services, which we have been able to boost by the growth of a team of motivated and ambitious younger people who have made a positive impact to the team culture.”
