Today we are introducing our latest recruit to the team: Emily Schaffer, who is joining us as a Marketing Assistant. AG: Who are you?<\/strong> ES: I\u2019m the lucky new\u00a0marketing assistant\u00a0who managed to secure a placement for my third year of university with Ambergreen. I am originally from Musselburgh, so I’m already familiar with the beautiful city that is Edinburgh, but I’ve been away for a couple of years studying at Robert Gordon University. In my last year of school, I made the decision to move away for university so I could get the full experience and become more independent. However, homesickness was starting to get to me towards the end of my second year so I began focussing on securing a placement in Edinburgh. This is where Ambergreen came into the picture. AG: What do you do at uni?<\/strong> ES: At university, I studied Management with Marketing, which involved studying all areas of business such as HR, finance and operations, but I specialised in marketing.\u00a0Obviously, marketing was my favourite area . . . not sure if I can say the same about finance. AG: How did you get interested in digital?<\/strong> ES: I got interested in digital marketing from one of the modules I did in my last semester of second year, which involved doing a blog on various areas of digital marketing. I absolutely loved this module and found it so interesting, which caused my eagerness to find a placement in digital marketing. I think digital marketing appeals to me the most because it’s so important nowadays, and you can be very creative with it. AG: Why Ambergreen?<\/strong> ES: I applied for a job at Ambergreen because I heard about the company from a connection, and it seemed it had such a friendly work culture and the perfect opportunity to learn more about digital marketing. Moving home for a year also had the added bonus of no cooking (which is probably safer for my health). AG: Where do you see yourself in five years?<\/strong>\n
