Distinctive Media Group has partnered with Reveela Academy to help businesses across the green sector develop their marketing capability through the Level 3 Multi-channel Marketer Apprenticeship.
The partnership offers businesses a practical way to build marketing skills within their existing team or support a new recruit, combining monthly online training with hands-on experience in the workplace.
Learners receive access to Reveela’s marketing tools throughout the programme, giving them resources to apply their learning and complete practical marketing tasks as part of their day-to-day role.
The apprenticeship can help employees develop skills across areas including:
- Content creation to communicate expertise, services and business updates.
- Social media and digital marketing to reach relevant audiences.
- Market and competitor research to understand customers and the wider sector.
- Digital visibility to help potential customers find and understand the business.
- Marketing planning to support more consistent, purposeful activity.
The partnership between Distinctive Media Group & Reveela Academy
Through its specialist business publications, Distinctive Media Group works with organisations across a range of sectors. Partnering with Reveela Academy creates an opportunity to connect businesses with a practical route to developing their marketing skills.
The Level 3 Multi-channel Marketer Apprenticeship combines structured learning with workplace application. Rather than relying solely on classroom-based training, learners can use their developing knowledge to support real marketing activity within their organisation.
Access to Reveela’s tools supports this approach, helping learners put their skills into practice while contributing to the business’s marketing activity.
Marketing apprenticeships: frequently asked questions
Why does marketing capability matter?
Marketing helps businesses communicate what they do, reach relevant audiences and make their expertise easier to find online. Developing these skills internally can support a more consistent approach to content, social media, research and digital visibility.
How much time does the apprenticeship take?
The programme involves one online training session per month, lasting around two hours. The rest of the learning is integrated into the employee’s day-to-day role, where they can apply their knowledge through practical marketing tasks using the tools available through Reveela.
This approach allows employees to develop their skills while continuing to contribute to the business, rather than spending extended periods away from work for training.
Could funding make it more accessible?
Depending on the circumstances, apprenticeship training may be fully funded for eligible 16–24-year-olds. Some qualifying employers may also be eligible for a £2,000 hiring payment when recruiting a qualifying apprentice. Funding may also be available for eligible existing employees aged 25 and over.
Eligibility and funding arrangements vary, so businesses should confirm the current rules and options that apply to their circumstances.
What could businesses gain?
The benefits will depend on the business’s priorities and how the learner applies their training. Developing marketing capability internally may help businesses:
- Communicate their expertise and services more effectively.
- Maintain a more consistent online presence.
- Build practical content creation and social media skills.
- Better understand their audiences and competitors.
- Develop an employee’s skills alongside their existing responsibilities.
With access to Reveela’s marketing tools, learners can put their developing knowledge into practice and contribute to real marketing activity as part of their role.
Is the apprenticeship only for young people entering the workplace?
No. The apprenticeship may be suitable for eligible new recruits as well as existing employees looking to develop their marketing skills. Individual eligibility requirements will determine whether the programme is appropriate.
Does a business need to recruit a new employee?
No. The apprenticeship can support both existing employees looking to develop their marketing skills and new recruits entering the role. It offers businesses a flexible way to build marketing capability within their team.
What does a Level 3 Multi-channel Marketer do?
The role can include creating content, supporting social media and digital marketing, researching audiences and competitors, and helping to plan marketing activity. Responsibilities will depend on the learner’s role and the organisation’s needs.
How does the partnership with Reveela Academy work?
Reveela Academy offers the apprenticeship through its training partnerships, while Distinctive Media Group is partnering with the Academy to bring the opportunity to businesses through its specialist publications. Learners receive access to Reveela’s marketing tools to support the practical application of their training.
Will an apprentice take responsibility for all our marketing?
An apprenticeship is a development route, not an automatic replacement for an experienced marketing team or an established strategy. Learners build their skills over time, with responsibilities shaped by their role, training and workplace support.
Is the training fully funded?
Funding depends on the employer’s circumstances, the learner’s eligibility and the current funding rules. Some eligible learners may qualify for fully funded training, while other arrangements may require an employer contribution. Businesses should confirm the options available to them.
Can employers receive a payment for hiring an apprentice?
Some qualifying employers may be eligible for a £2,000 hiring payment when recruiting an eligible apprentice. This is subject to specific criteria, so employers should confirm the current rules before relying on it.
