My first step into the digital marketing world was through working on my university magazine. When I graduated, I contacted this company, interviewed and got my first role as an Assistant Digital Media Executive! My advice to new graduates is to look for a role that offers exposure to as many different aspects of digital marketing as possible. This industry has so much to offer and is evolving at such a fast rate, that it’s important to ensure that you as an individual you are as adaptable and valuable as possible to a company; thus future-proofing your career.

If you haven’t already, start a blog. A blog can help showcase your knowledge, demonstrate what you are learning and how you can implement that knowledge. It will also give you some basic practical experience with websites and how they work. Secondly, think about your skills, and what you need to improve. The digital marketing industry moves so quickly and is an ongoing learning process. Keep up to date with the latest trends and regularly read and study the top blogs.
