It's a busy time for our DPM team as they're welcoming another new team member! Get to know Harry, ClickThrough's newest Digital Paid Media Executive.
I joined Clickthrough on the 5th of January 2021.
I support with the day-to-day management of the DPM strategy and I am responsible for reporting on our campaign performance.
Before working at Clickthrough I was a Digital Marketing apprentice at a company in Lichfield. In this role, I was able to gain valuable experience and gain my Level 3 Digital Marketing qualification. I learned a lot in my apprenticeship which led me to become a digital marketing assistant before I took the leap to ClickThrough.
I love that my role is very focused and that I get to work in Digital Paid Media specifically and not a broad role that covers the whole of Digital Marketing. This allows me to develop my skillset in the area that I am passionate about.
The aspect of ClickThrough that has impressed me since joining has been the focus on working as a team and helping others. I have had several members of staff message me privately asking me how I am getting on and if I need anything. Also, the team has been helping me to learn more about my clients and how ClickThrough operates as a business.
If I had not have gone into marketing, then I would have looked to become a football academy coach. Once I finished high school, I completed my Level 1 in football coaching and started coaching a local team. I went with marketing as there are better career paths for me and it also allows you to develop skills that can help you with any businesses outside of work.
As I am passionate about football, I would trade places with the Aston Villa manager Dean Smith. Although I love playing football, I think you would learn more being a manager than a player. There are a lot more responsibilities such as managing a massive team of people in a variety of roles, preparing the games and training, and then also being the face of a massive brand. I believe this experience would be very enjoyable and educational.
In my spare time, I love playing and watching football. I am a season ticket holder at Aston Villa and have gone abroad to watch teams such as AC Milan and Barcelona. My love of football also extends to a business I run selling vintage sportswear called Retrace Vintage. When I can I also love to travel as much as I can, I have visited Italy, Spain, France, Latvia, Estonia, the USA, and Poland. I hope to visit Germany, Japan, and the Czech Republic in the future!
