Use digital to do good: Data-driven digital marketing for charities
Are you one of those unicorns who is both creative and loves data? Have you been told you can’t possibly use both skills in one career?
Digital marketing is an ideal career for those who enjoy using both sides of their brain and, by working at agencies that focus on something you’re passionate about, you can get stuck into a variety of campaigns that really float your boat.
At Uprise Up, we work with some of the biggest charities in the UK, using data to help their digital marketing work harder. Add to that our B Corp certification and you can be sure that we’re an eco-friendly, socially conscious place to work.
We are committed to encouraging more women to get into the digital marketing and data industry. Women are hugely under-represented across STEM fields and the data industry is no exception. Male analysts and data scientists outnumber their female colleagues 4 to 1.
Join us for a special Virtual Insight Day (on International Women’s Day no less!)
