I think its fair to say that my journey at Napier has been a successful one. I originally joined the team back in 2016 as a Summer Intern, which was my first real insight into the world of PR and Marketing.
As I headed into my third and final year at Bournemouth University, Napier offered me the great opportunity to stay on as an intern and work one day a week, as I finished my degree in Media and Communications.
Being an intern at Napier allowed me to see theory in action and gain a vital understanding of the day-to-day running of the business, as well as helping me understand what would be expected of me as I left the student world behind.
After completing my degree, I was thrilled to be asked to join the team full-time as Marketing Specialist, with a 50/50 focus on supporting Napier’s business development activities and client work. My daily activities included writing content for Napier, updating the website, as well as content writing, and organising and creation of ads for our clients.
The great thing about working at Napier, is that the management team guide you and give you time to understand what aspect of the job you both like and excel in the most. For me it was obvious that Business Development was the route I wanted to go down, and once I had made that clear, the management team were fantastic in letting me know what I needed to achieve in order to reach the next step in my career.
In September 2018, I was promoted to Business Development Manager, and was entrusted with the responsibility of running the business development activities for Napier, including our sales strategy, lead nurturing, content marketing and building relationships with existing and potential new clients.
Now in the second year of my role at Napier, I feel privileged to be part of a company that provides a clear path of progression for their staff and puts its trust in young people to help them kick-start their career.
I know that my journey to where I am today, would not have progressed as quickly or successfully without the amazing support and training I received from both management and my colleagues. It’s true what they say, “find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life forever”. (Amy Poehler)
At Napier we always looking for new people to join our team. If you want to work at a place that challenges you to be the best version of yourself, get in touch today, and find out if Napier is the right place for you.
