Award-winning agency A Digital has welcomed a new member to its expanding team.
Alice Bardgett has joined the Kendal firm as a junior content executive as part of an internship in digital marketing following the completion of her studies at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Penrith in the summer.
A Digital founder Andrew Armitage said: “Much has been said about the national skills shortage so it’s essential that young people can start their careers in a supportive environment that offers progression while learning and earning at the same time.
“While young people might lack certain skills or experience to hit the ground running, when they show up with the right attitude and willingness to learn, we can shape their training around a number of elements to suit the role, the candidate’s strengths and the demands of our clients.
“As businesses we can’t complain about there being a skills shortage and not be willing to make an investment in young people to give them the real world experience and skills they need.”
Alice said: “This is an amazing opportunity for me to pursue something I am passionate about whilst learning so much, after recently completing my A-levels.
“I am excited to gain experience of different skills and techniques in all things digital marketing, across such a wide range of clients and digital platforms.”
The agency works with clients including James Cropper, Hawkshead Relish, Cicerone Press and Windermere Lake Cruises.
