Social Media Apprentice

Overview

This is a unique opportunity to kickstart your career in social media. As a Social Media Apprentice at Jungle Creations, you’ll join a fast-paced, supportive team and get first-hand experience in how content is discovered, produced and distributed across platforms like Facebook, Tik Tok, Instagram and Snapchat. You don’t need professional experience — we’re looking for someone who lives and breathes social, understands different apps, loves finding great videos, and is curious about why content goes viral.

You’ll learn from industry experts and gain insight into how audiences behave, how to spot trends, and how digital publishers grow. Successful candidates will have the option to choose from a selection of apprentice programmes. Example options include;
Content Creator Level 3 with The Juice Academy or Multi-Channel Marketer with Baltic Apprenticeships. Additional details of these programmes will be shared with candidates who are selected for interview.
