In honour of National Apprenticeship Week 2024 (5th-11th February 2024), Awdry Law proudly shines a spotlight on the achievements of their young Marketing Executive, Mia Davies.
Mia, aged 19, completed her Digital Marketing apprenticeship in August 2023, showcasing the incredible opportunities apprenticeships provide for both individuals and businesses.
Since completing her apprenticeship, Mia has risen to the role of Marketing Executive, overseeing the firm’s marketing strategy, PR, and advertising activities across their five offices in Wiltshire.
Awdry Law, with seven legal departments encompassing Wills, Tax & Probate, Family Law, Conveyancing, Commercial, Land & Development, Dispute Resolution, and Employment Law, has found in Mia a dynamic and creative force driving their marketing efforts.
Reflecting on her journey with Awdry Law, Mia expressed her gratitude for the diverse experiences she gained during her apprenticeship, including campaign planning, content creation, social media management, events, and general business development. One of her standout accomplishments was playing a crucial role in the firm’s rebrand from Awdry Bailey & Douglas to Awdry Law. Mia spearheaded the rebrand promotion through social media, email marketing, and innovative initiatives, creating anticipation and engagement among key stakeholders.
In Mia’s words, “No two days are the same, and I am given the freedom to be creative, with enthusiasm from all the people here, and specifically the management board, to continue to suggest and develop new and unique marketing projects.”
Choosing the apprenticeship route proved to be the catalyst for Mia’s successful career in digital marketing. She highlighted the value of gaining real-life experience in the industry while studying, leading to a qualification and a solid foundation for her career. Mia encouraged aspiring digital marketers to consider apprenticeships as an effective way to kickstart their careers.
