Content Creator Apprenticeship Level 3
As a Content Creator you would be responsible for developing and creating content that can be used across a variety of media including digital, social media, broadcast or in print. Working to the customer/client brief, you would research, prepare and develop media messaging to maximise audience engagement, capturing the strategy and objectives of the brand and needs of the customer you are representing.
The content you create can be used as part of media, advertising and marketing campaigns. You need to capture what is exciting about a campaign and design the elements that can be used across media platforms and channels. Your role would involve collaborating with designers and developers, and using authoring languages to create content for the World Wide Web, which may include video, images, text (or ‘copy’) and web pages and social media content, so an enthusiasm for technology and creating great online experiences is a must. You could work in advertising, marketing or digital agencies, or in an interactive role for broadcasters. You could progress into a Content Creation/Development role at a more senior level across the industry, including with digital agencies, broadcasters and publishers.
