Our Commitment
Diversity and inclusion is a core part of who we are at Turner Duckworth. We’re committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, celebrates and supports our wonderfully diverse employee group – whatever their age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability or ethnicity. Diversity and inclusion doesn’t just fuel our creativity and innovation, it brings us closer to our people and audiences. We will continue to strive to create a culture and environment where everyone feels empowered and more importantly comfortable enough to bring their full, authentic selves to work.    

We’re seeking a bright and curious apprentice to join our Brand Strategy team. It’s a rare opportunity for a recent school leaver to immerse themselves in the world of branding and strategy.

Fundamentally, this role will involve research - delving deep into subjects relating to our clients, projects, industries, competitors, and more. However, our apprentice’s unique frame of reference, interests, and insights will be just as valuable - bringing fresh thinking and perspective to diverse projects and tasks.

Key Responsibilities

• Conducting research to support client and project objectives - often extending beyond traditional brand strategy topics to encompass broader social, cultural, and industry trends
• Assisting with competitive reviews, from capturing shelf shots and navigating product ranges to analysing competitor product portfolios.
• Enriching projects by contributing research and insights from a wide array of subjects, potentially linking the subject matter to literature, pop culture, science, history, or other fields of interest. There’s no limit to what might inspire our work!
• Working collaboratively with the brand strategy team to brainstorm, think deep, act quick. 

The qualification that you will study and achieve on this apprenticeship is a Level 3 Advertising and Media Executive Apprenticeship. 

The deadline to apply for this role is Friday 5th July. 

The proposed start date for this role is September 2024. 

• A curious mind, with strengths in subjects requiring research and analytical skills.
• A passion and interest for creative work or subjects.
• Strong research skills.
• Interest in and curiosity about the world around them, with the ability to look at things from a different perspective.
• A positive attitude, eager to learn and contribute.
• Basic knowledge or an interest in marketing, business, or similar would be advantageous but certainly not required - this is the kind of thing you can learn on the job.
• Someone who can think outside the box and aren't afraid to share ideas.
• Adaptability and an ability to adjust quickly to new tasks and projects. 

In addition to this, we require all candidates to: 

• To have the right to work in the UK
• To have lived in the UK or EEA continuously for the past 3 years
• At least a grade of 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in Maths and English
