Writing Careers Event – University of Essex
Digital Marketing Workshops
Josef and Reuben from our Footprint team attended a ‘Writing Careers’ event on Thursday 22nd November at the University of Essex.
We spoke to a group of humanities students who want to have a career in writing, about considering going into Digital Marketing. We wanted to give the students an idea of what they could do after university with their writing skills.
Josef and Reuben ran two workshops that looked at writing meta titles and descriptions to create adverts for a business. The students were shown how they could transfer their skills, learnt in their studies, into a practical real-life work situation. They were given this task so that they could experience what a future digital marketing job could consist of, allowing them to test their skills and see whether it was for them of not.
‘If students are unsure about what direction they’re going in with their writing careers after university, it’s really important for them to consider all the options available. Digital has so many different paths that you can go down and as digital marketing becomes more vital for businesses than ever, it is a great option to seriously consider as a future career.’ Josef James, Content Coordinator
