Eligibility: Open to students completing a placement that forms an assessed part of a UK higher-education course
About Acodia
Acodia is a London digital agency working across four service lines: Learn (tech education), Launch (career development), Defend (cybersecurity) and Reach (digital marketing). We build our own products alongside client work, including Pulse, our marketing platform for local businesses.
We’re a small team, which means placement students here do real work with their names on it — not admin.
The role
You’ll work directly with the founder as our first dedicated content person, turning creative direction into published work across Acodia’s channels and our clients’ campaigns.
What you’ll do
- Plan and maintain the content calendar across our channels
- Write and design social posts for LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok
- Shoot and edit short-form video
- Draft blog posts, case studies and website copy
- Support email campaigns and newsletter content
- Create marketing material for our own products and client accounts
- Track performance and report monthly on what’s working
- Research competitors, trends and creators in our clients’ markets
What we’re looking for
Essential:
- Currently studying marketing, media, journalism, business or a related subject, with a placement forming part of your course
- Strong, clear writing — you can shift between a polished brand voice and a practical B2B one
- Comfortable creating and editing short-form video
- Working knowledge of Canva, CapCut or Adobe tools
- Organised enough to run a calendar without being chased
- Right to work in the UK
Nice to have:
- A personal account, portfolio or student project where you’ve built an audience
- Photography or basic graphic design skills
- Familiarity with Later, Buffer or Meta Business Suite
You don’t need agency experience. We care about taste, initiative and how you write.
What you’ll get
- Direct mentoring from the founder, with no layers between you and the decisions
- Live published work across real client accounts for your portfolio
- Exposure to agency marketing, SaaS product marketing and brand work
- Support with your university placement reporting and assessment
- [Travel and lunch expenses covered]
- Strong possibility of a paid role for the right person at the end of the placement
How to apply
Send your CV, your course and placement details, and a short note on why this interests you.
Please also include a short task (about 20 minutes — it’s the main thing we’ll look at):
1. Write one Instagram caption for a AI training course platform.
2. Write one LinkedIn post promoting a marketing tool to the owner of a local Restaurant.
Attach anything you’ve made that you’re proud of. Links are fine. Applications without the task won’t be reviewed.
