🌟 Three years ago, I made a bold decision – one that has reshaped the future of Net Visibility. 🌟 I chose to invest in young people. Our goal was simple but ambitious: find the brightest talent, train them the Net Vis way, and give them the kind of responsibility they wouldn’t easily get elsewhere. We built on years of experience working with young talent during A-Level and university holidays, but this time, we were aiming higher. We embarked on a degree apprenticeship programme, offering the right candidates the opportunity to gain a BSc in Leadership and Business Management whilst learning Digital Marketing at Net Visibility. Alan Hansen famously said, "You don't win anything with young people." How wrong he was! We’ve found the perfect blend of "grey hair and young flair," and it’s been a massive success. Our team is a mix of experienced industry experts (also known as the ‘old gits’ who were in marketing long before Google, Facebook, and Snapchat even existed) and the raw, infectious enthusiasm of young talent. Yes, some days it feels like running a kindergarten, but the rewards are there for all to see. Actually there is an argument that the biggest kid in the team is yours truly! This week, we proudly welcomed Millie to the team and sent Kofi off for a well-deserved holiday in Australia. Don’t worry – Tigger will be back soon, fully recharged! If you're thinking about growing your business, I highly recommend considering degree apprenticeships. It’s not without its challenges – you need to ensure everything is documented and not just stored in someone’s head – but the benefits are huge. We’ve managed large-scale Google and Facebook advertising campaigns, thanks to this powerful combination of fresh energy and seasoned wisdom. Here’s to continuing the journey, investing in the future, and proving that a mix of young people with seasoned professionals really is the key to success. 🙌 #Leadership #DigitalMarketing #Apprenticeships #Growth #YoungTalent #Mentorship #BusinessTransformation
