Marketing Apprentice

About us:

Funky Chunky Furniture is an eCommerce retailer creating real wood furniture, made by real people, for real life - and we’ve been doing just that since 2013. All of our furniture is handcrafted in our workshop in the North East of England, using sustainably sourced timbers and traditional techniques. The result? Beautiful, solid wood pieces built to last.

As a digitally led business, we’re always exploring new ways to grow our online presence and connect with customers in meaningful, creative ways. Joining our team means stepping into a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your ideas and contributions genuinely matter - and where there's real opportunity to grow alongside us.

About the role:

We’re looking for a motivated and curious Marketing Apprentice to join our digital marketing team. This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience across multiple marketing channels while studying towards a Level 3 Multi-Channel Marketing apprenticeship.

Through the programme, you’ll get exposure to all areas of marketing - including content, email, social media, and campaign coordination - but your day-to-day work will focus more specifically on PPC, paid search, and SEO. This role has been designed with career progression in mind, with a clear pathway into a Search Marketing Executive position once your apprenticeship is complete.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll support the marketing team while developing your skills across digital channels. Tasks will include:

• Assisting in the setup, monitoring, and optimisation of paid search campaigns (Google Ads, Meta, etc.)
• Supporting basic performance tracking and reporting (e.g. CTR, ROAS, CPA).
• Helping to write ad copy and coordinate creatives.
• Conducting keyword research for SEO and PPC campaigns.
• Assisting with on-page SEO tasks such as metadata, internal linking, and content optimisation.
• Learning how to use key digital marketing tools (SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Analytics 4, Looker Studio).
• Helping maintain affiliate relationships and monitoring partner activity.
• Supporting campaign rollouts, UTM tracking, and marketing calendar updates.
• Contributing to the creation of short-form content, such as landing page copy and ad text.

What we’re looking for:

• A genuine interest in digital marketing, particularly PPC and SEO.
• A desire to build a long-term career in the field.
• Some foundational knowledge or exposure to platforms like Google Ads, SEO tools, or social media marketing.
• Strong written communication and great attention to detail.
• A proactive, can-do attitude and an eagerness to learn.

Entry requirements:

• 3 GCSEs (or equivalent) at grades 4+ (A-C) in any subject
• GCSE Maths and English (or equivalents) at grades 3+ (D or above)
• Prospective apprentices must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level as this apprenticeship in a similar subject

You may also have a combination of qualifications and experience which demonstrate the minimum foundation needed for the programme. In this instance you could still be considered for the programme.

If you hold international equivalents of the above qualifications, at the time of your application you must be able to provide an official document that states how your international qualifications compare to the UK qualifications.
