October 2025
Marketing brings everything I'm interested in - creativity, writing and understanding people - all together in ways I didn’t fully appreciate until I was actually working in the agecy,
I have been involved in a range of practical
tasks across marketing, communication, and business development including representing the agency at a business and careers fair in October 2025. I manned the stand informing visitors about our work, and delivered initiatives to engage students, potential clients and other professionals. I learnt how to promote the agency and and build positive relationships.
November
Communication has become a huge part of my day. Whether it’s passing on updates, checking details, or keeping projects moving, I learnt quickly how important clarity is. I’ve also grown more confident in sharing my own ideas as they have been used live in content, marketing and with clients. In the beginning I wondered if my suggestions were 'good enough' but I have been told by the team that my perspective is one of the valuable things I bring. It was fascinating to visit a potential partner's studio site within a local co-working space. As well as the Founder's story myself and another Trainee took part in an impromptu podcase - I led the session as host interviewing a colleague on experience and benefits of working with ADS Agency, and discussing the studio founder's story.

I was honoured with my fellow Trainee to be selected to showcase our College's T-Level courses. ADS Agency hosted us and we were filmed in our day-to-day activities such as team discussions, client meetings and presenting ideas and research.
Additional filming took place in the college site and a selection of my interview footage made it into the final video.
Into 2026
Working behind the scenes has opened my eyes to how much goes into building campaigns — the research, the planning, the adjustments, and the back-and-forth. When you see the final result, it looks effortless, but the truth is, it’s a combination of creativity, strategy, and a lot of teamwork. Networking gave me an opportunity to connect with professionals, showcase the agency and present myself. I also participated in virtual meetings. The above opportunities in this role have given me hands-on experience whilst contributing to the agency's day-to-day operations and marketing efforts. I enjoyed a team day with my colleagues - anyone for footgolf?
