OUR PURPOSE
At Annex Media, we believe opportunity shouldn’t depend on who you already know or how many years you’ve spent in the industry. Too often, marketing roles are recycled among the same pool of people, shutting out new voices and ideas. We’re changing that. Instead of demanding experience that few can access, we create it, offering genuine, hands-on learning through The Annex Academy. This initiative opens the door for ambitious graduates and career-changers alike, providing a clear, supported route into digital marketing.
The Annex Academy is more than a training scheme; it’s a launchpad. Every participant is employed from day one, earning a competitive starting salary while developing real skills on the job. Our team members are encouraged to grow both inside and outside the workplace, building confidence, creativity, and a sense of purpose that extends beyond their roles. By investing in people rather than just positions, we’re helping to shape the next generation of marketing professionals, and proving that sustainable growth starts with opportunity.
ROUND 1
Applying to our academy is simple! We look for raw talent first and foremost, so while previous experience is great, it is not essential. All we need from you is a CV and a cover letter. You can email this to us at admin@annexmedia.co.uk.
TIPS
We sift through hundreds of CVs, so make sure yours stands out from the crowd! Show us that you’ve done your research into the company and tell us why you would be the perfect fit for our academy. We are suckers for a beautifully worded, creatively presented CV and cover letter (and we can sniff AI responses a mile off!) We want applicants with a passion for paid media and a genuine drive to succeed.
ROUND 2
If our hiring team think you could be a good fit, they will get in touch and invite you for a group interview (5-10 applicants per interview) where you will partake in a group discussion and a 40-minute maths and English exam.
