I had an amazing opportunity to complete work experience with Clicksmith. During this time, I engaged closely with the team and gained valuable insight into the varied roles and skills required within a marketing agency.

As a university student currently studying marketing, this experience was particularly beneficial in bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world practice. I was given a range of tasks involving real clients, which gave me hands-on exposure to agency work. The tasks included drafting organic social media content, researching scheduling tools and content ideas, and developing structured social media plans.

Overall, I found the team to be extremely welcoming and supportive. The experience was thoughtfully organised, with a detailed plan that ensured each day was productive and engaging. I had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with team members across various roles, from website designers to client services specialists, who shared insights into their day-to-day responsibilities and any challenges they face.

This experience has strengthened my understanding of marketing, broadened my awareness of the range of roles within an agency environment, and helped me identify potential areas of specialisation for my future career.
