Job description

Ready to Build a Career in Marketing & Business?

Looking for an opportunity where you can develop real business skills, work with people and build a career based on your own performance?

At Apollo Associates, we specialise in face-to-face marketing, customer acquisition and business development. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for ambitious and motivated individuals to join our team in Watford as Junior Marketing & Business Development Assistants.

This is a people-focused marketing role, not a digital marketing position. You’ll learn how businesses grow through direct customer engagement, brand representation and face-to-face marketing campaigns.

No Marketing Experience? No Problem.

You don’t need a degree in marketing or previous industry experience.

We provide full training, ongoing coaching and support from day one. We’re looking for people with the right attitude, communication skills and ambition to learn.

If you’ve worked in hospitality, retail, customer service, events or any other people-focused environment, the skills you’ve developed could transfer extremely well into this role.

What Does Face-to-Face Marketing Involve?

Our approach is centred around creating genuine connections between brands and their customers.

You’ll gain practical experience in:

• Representing established brands through face-to-face campaigns
• Speaking directly with customers and understanding their needs
• Increasing brand awareness and customer acquisition
• Presenting products and services confidently
• Building strong customer relationships
• Supporting customer acquisition and business growth
• Working towards individual and team targets
• Developing your communication, sales and business skills

You’ll be learning how marketing works in the real world — face to face, directly with customers.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for individuals who are:

• Confident and comfortable speaking with new people
• Positive, enthusiastic and approachable
• Ambitious and motivated to develop
• Professional and reliable
• Open to feedback and willing to learn
• Comfortable working towards targets
• Resilient and able to stay motivated
• Interested in business, marketing and personal development
• Team-focused with a strong work ethic

What You’ll Receive

• Full training in face-to-face marketing and customer acquisition
• Ongoing coaching and mentorship
• Practical experience working with established brands
• Development in communication, sales and business skills
• Structured personal and professional development
• Clear opportunities for progression based on performance
• A supportive and ambitious team environment
• Opportunities to develop leadership and management skills
• Recognition and performance incentives
• Competitive earnings with performance-based bonuses

Develop Skills That Go Beyond Marketing

We believe the best way to learn business is by getting involved.

You’ll develop practical skills in communication, customer acquisition, relationship building, negotiation, leadership and business development — skills that can be valuable throughout your career.

As you progress, there are opportunities to take on greater responsibility and develop towards leadership and management.

Your Next Step Starts Here!

If you’re looking for an opportunity to gain real-world marketing and business experience, work with people and develop professionally, Apollo Associates could be the right environment for you.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. We’ll provide the training and support.
