Job Description

Digital Marketing Executive

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Junior Digital Marketing Executive to join our small but fast-moving and growing agency team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a natural instinct for digital and social media, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a keen interest in data, analytics and advertising.

You don't need to be an expert yet -- you just need the drive to learn, the enthusiasm to get stuck in, and the ambition to become exceptional at what you do. We'll give you hands-on experience, structured training and the support you need to grow into a skilled digital marketer.

You'll work across multiple clients and sectors, helping to deliver digital campaigns while developing your expertise in paid advertising, content creation, email marketing and website content management.

About The Word Agency

Founded in 2019, The Word Agency is a full-service marketing agency working with clients across the UK and beyond. We are a team of friendly, talented people with a track record of producing meaningful results.

Our ambition is to build a team of inspiring individuals who bring curiosity, creativity and energy to everything they do. We have high expectations of ourselves and each other, and we're looking for someone who is eager to learn, motivated to grow, and excited to build a long-term career in digital marketing.

The Right Person for the Role

You're enthusiastic, curious, proactive and eager to develop your skills. You love digital media, probably spend far too long on social platforms, and find yourself noticing what makes adverts work. You enjoy writing, feel comfortable communicating with others, and are naturally good with detail.

You don't need lots of professional experience -- but you do need passion, potential, and a willingness to learn quickly.

Responsibilities.

(Full training provided -- you will grow into these responsibilities over time.)

Support the setup and optimisation of paid advertising campaigns across Google Ads and Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram). Assist with monitoring and reporting on digital campaign performance. Help create simple, effective advertising assets using tools such as Canva. Contribute ideas and research to support client campaigns and digital strategies. Support the team in uploading and updating website content using CMS tools. Assist in planning and scheduling email marketing campaigns. Carry out keyword research, audience research and competitor analysis to support campaign planning. Help gather content (written, visual and video) for marketing campaigns. Communicate with clients in a friendly, professional manner. Work closely with the wider team to deliver high-quality campaigns and meet deadlines.

The Skills Needed

(These are skills you should already have -- professional experience is not required.)

Excellent spoken and written English. A natural interest in digital platforms, social media and online behaviour. Confidence using social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube. A keen interest in data, analytics and understanding "why things work". Creativity and confidence in producing simple designs using Canva or similar tools. Strong attention to detail and pride in accuracy. Comfortable organising your workload and managing multiple tasks. A positive attitude, eagerness to learn and willingness to take feedback. Full UK Driving Licence with access to your own vehicle.

Desirable (But Not Essential) Skills

Experience using Canva or other design tools. Basic understanding of how paid ads work (Google, Facebook/Instagram). Experience creating short-form video content. Any exposure to digital marketing, analytics or content creation (professional, personal or academic). A marketing-related qualification (GCSE, A-Level or Level 3+) is beneficial but NOT required.

What We'll Provide:

Full training in Google Ads, Meta Ads, analytics and digital tools. Mentoring and support from experienced marketers. A clear development plan to help you progress quickly. Opportunities to work on exciting client campaigns from day one. Space to be creative and put your ideas into practice.
