Sophie

Sophie started a Digital Marketing Degree Apprenticeship in September 2024.

Attending university via the traditional route wasn’t for her, and Sophie wanted to be able to get real experience at the same time. She works with our in-house marketing team and external agencies to create campaigns and communications for our customers via a variety of methods, including social media, emarketing, website development and outdoor advertising.

Sophie said:” Everyone at Nexus is positive about apprenticeships and offer opportunities to get involved with different things beyond your every-day role.

“I’ve been on wellbeing walks, I’ve taken part in cake baking competitions, and I even won an award for being a Rising Star at the North East Marketing Awards.

“I’d recommend a Nexus apprenticeship to anyone that is looking for an inclusive positive working environment surrounded by people who really want to help you grow your career.  The people here focus on making sure you’ve got what you need for your educational course, and support that with relevant on-the-job learning. Everyone is approachable and happy to help.

“Plus the perks are great, including free local travel and discounts on mainline train services which has helped me as I moved from York to Newcastle for my apprenticeship.”
