Cage Delivery Ltd is looking for ambitious, creative and commercially minded students and recent graduates to join us for a 3-month paid Digital Marketing, Media & E-commerce Internship in Nottingham.
This is not designed to be an internship where you simply observe from the side.
We want you to become involved in a real business, understand how ideas are turned into products and campaigns, learn how customers are acquired, see how e-commerce operations work and develop practical skills that you can take into your future career.
You will work closely with the team at Cage Delivery Ltd and gain exposure to areas including digital marketing, social media, content creation, e-commerce, branding, SEO, advertising, website management and business development.
We are particularly interested in students or graduates studying:
- Digital Marketing
- Marketing
- Business & Marketing
- Advertising
- Media & Communications
- Content Creation
- Graphic Design
- E-commerce
- Or another closely related discipline
More Than Just an Internship
Our aim is to give selected candidates meaningful commercial experience.
Alongside marketing work, you will have the opportunity to understand how a business operates behind the scenes - including branding, product development, online selling, customer acquisition, pricing, advertising and business growth.
If you are interested in entrepreneurship, we are also happy to share our practical experience and help you understand the process of developing a business idea, building a brand and taking a product or service to market.
We want candidates to finish the internship with real skills, real work to discuss in future interviews and a much better understanding of how businesses actually grow.
What You Could Be Working On
Depending on your strengths and interests, your work may include:
- Creating and managing content for social media platforms
- Developing social media and digital marketing campaigns
- Creating graphics, short-form videos, advertisements and promotional material
- Writing engaging marketing copy for websites, advertisements, social media and email campaigns
- Supporting SEO through keyword research and website optimisation

- Analysing campaign data and preparing performance reports
- Using Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint for marketing and commercial projects
- Working with Photoshop, Canva or similar creative tools

You will not necessarily be expected to be an expert in every area. We are interested in understanding what you are already good at and what you want to become good at.
