About Thunderbolt Digital
Thunderbolt Digital is a full-service digital marketing agency based in Farnham, Surrey. We work with businesses across a wide range of sectors, helping them grow through digital marketing, websites, SEO, paid advertising, social media, content and creative campaigns.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Digital Marketing Assistant to join our growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the beginning of their marketing career who wants hands-on experience working inside a busy digital agency rather than learning marketing purely from a classroom.
You will work alongside experienced members of our marketing, SEO, social media, creative and account management teams while completing your digital marketing apprenticeship.
The Role
As an Apprentice Digital Marketing Assistant, you will support our team across a variety of client accounts and digital marketing activities.
No two days will be exactly the same. You could be helping prepare social media content one day, researching competitors and keywords the next, and then assisting with a client campaign, website project or marketing report.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with social media content creation and scheduling
- Supporting SEO campaigns and keyword research
- Researching competitors and market opportunities
- Helping create and upload website content
- Assisting with blogs, email campaigns and marketing copy
- Supporting Google Ads and social advertising campaigns
- Helping prepare client marketing reports
- Carrying out online research for client campaigns
- Supporting the team with campaign planning and ideas
- Helping maintain client marketing calendars
- Checking websites and digital content for accuracy
- Assisting account managers with day-to-day client requirements
- Learning how different digital marketing channels work together to generate enquiries, sales and business growth
As your knowledge and confidence develop, you will be given more responsibility and the opportunity to manage elements of campaigns yourself.
Who We Are Looking For
We are not expecting you to already be an experienced digital marketer. That is what the apprenticeship is designed to help you become.
However, we are looking for someone who has some previous exposure to marketing, whether through education, work experience, a previous role, personal projects or running social media/content for a business or organisation.
You should:
- Have a genuine interest in digital marketing
- Have some previous marketing experience or knowledge
- Be comfortable using social media platforms
- Have good written English and communication skills
- Be confident using computers and learning new software
- Be organised and able to manage different tasks
- Have good attention to detail
- Be willing to ask questions and learn
- Be comfortable receiving feedback on your work
- Be reliable and professional
- Be interested in how businesses use marketing to generate leads and sales
- Be proactive rather than waiting to be told what to do
Experience with platforms such as WordPress, Canva, Meta, LinkedIn, Google Ads, Google Analytics or SEO tools would be useful, but is not essential.
What You Will Learn
This role is designed to give you broad experience across digital marketing rather than limiting you to one area.
You will gain practical experience in:
- Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
- Social media marketing
- Paid advertising and PPC
- Content marketing
- Email marketing
- Website content and WordPress
- Marketing analytics and reporting
- Campaign planning
- Client communication
- AI and emerging digital marketing tools
- Digital marketing strategy
You will also see first-hand how a digital agency works and how campaigns are planned, delivered and measured for real businesses.
What We Offer
- A recognised digital marketing apprenticeship
- Hands-on experience working on real client campaigns
- Training from an experienced digital agency team
- Exposure to multiple areas of digital marketing
- Opportunities to develop your own areas of specialism
- A friendly and collaborative agency environment
- Genuine opportunities for increased responsibility as you develop
- Potential career progression within Thunderbolt Digital following successful completion of the apprenticeship
Who This Role Would Suit
This position would suit someone who has recently finished school, college or another course and knows that they want to build a career in marketing.
It may also suit someone currently working in another junior role who has gained some marketing experience and now wants structured training and a career within digital marketing.
We care more about your attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn than having years of experience.
However, digital marketing moves quickly, so you must be someone who is comfortable learning, experimenting and continually improving.
How to Apply
Please apply through Indeed with your CV and a short introduction explaining why you want to build a career in digital marketing and any marketing experience, projects or knowledge you already have.
We are particularly interested in hearing about anything you have created yourself, whether that is social media content, a website, a blog, a campaign, video content or another digital project.
