How Aspiration Digital Made a Difference

“I found today brilliant for my students. There’s a massive range of opportunities for them to have their eyes opened to different digital careers. And as a teacher it’s just amazing to see them become more inquisitive and curious about what they want to do. And the opportunities here are fantastic.”

ANNA-MARIE, TEACHER

Aspiration Digital was a really fun, information-packed event and I found it incredibly beneficial. It gave me an insight into how an agency works and how many different careers there actually are in the digital marketing industry. The one-day conference was a real eye-opener and the talks really explained how the digital world is an exciting place to work. Digital careers are not spoken about much in school, so listening to Becky Simms (CEO & Founder of Reflect Digital) and Mark Gaisford (Founder & MD of Redsprout) really inspired my friends and I to explore the opportunities in digital marketing, and consider potentially going into this as a career.

MAE MORGAN, STUDENT

Aspiration Digital made me realise how many different jobs are available in the digital industry and opened my eyes to the number of opportunities available in the future. The breaks gave me the chance to go and chat with professionals from various companies about careers in digital which was really helpful, and I managed to win a weeks worth of work experience too!
