POV you're doing work experience at a digital marketing agency
We had a work experience student join the team last week 🤓 Here’s a snapshot of what he got up to!
Ethan also:
✔️ Sat in a client meeting with Chris & Alex
✔️ Went through Sprout Social & Facebook Ads with Becca
✔️ Started creating a Reel
The whole team were really impressed with what Ethan came up with, considering he’s never done social media marketing before!
We LOVED the Burger King rebrand!! 🤩🍔
Ethan said he really enjoyed his work experience week at Squarestar 🙌
Thank you 🌟

Colchester Marketing Expo 2024
What is it they say? Do something every day that scares you... 😱
Public speaking at an expo is definitely stepping out of my comfort zone (and I'm not sure I'd want to do it every day lol) but I'm so glad I did it. Marketing Expo 24 was a cracking idea by Allistair of the DS Group and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to speak. 😃
As a group, we shared lots of top tips with local business owners and marketers on ways to get the most out of our marketing strategies. 📈
Mine included everything from not weeing all over your customers to knowing when to spend more!! 💪 Yup I went there.
Met some fabulous new people and also got to spend some time with clients that supported us on the day too. Plus, I also got to learn from the other great speakers on the day.
I want to do this again, but need some time hiding behind my computer screen again for a little while lol!
All the speakers did an amazing job:
👏 Cloud9 Business Coaching Ltd
👏 The DS Group
👏 Birkett Long LLP
👏 HiLo Print & Graphics
👏 The Write Impression
Got to say that the Colchester Rugby Club is a fab venue too!

Boom Battle Bar Photobooth
Got our Boom Battle Bar Ipswich photobooth pics back!!! 🤪🤪
If anyone knows how small photobooths are, you'll know how hard we struggled to all fit in 😂😂 Lauren didn't even fully make it 🤣
Love this crazy team 😝🧡 Here's to an awesome 2024 everyone.
It’s our resident gamer’s birthday!! 🎮👾
With someone whose reactions are often priceless, we had to film the present opening - even with Chris and Cliff talking interesting shop in the background!! 🤣🤣
If your Poke-knowledge is on par with Cliff’s and you don’t really understand - this is one of Lauren’s favourite Eevee evolutions, Umbreon! So cute 🥹
Happy Level-up Day, Lauren 🥳🎂
Becca and the team x
World Beard Day Funny
We heard it's World Beard Day!! 😝🧔🏻♀️
There's quite a few beardies on the SSD team, so we thought it'd be fun to show everyone pre/post beard 😂😂
Who's transformation is your favourite?!
International Dog Day Toast Thief
Happy International Dog Day!! 🐶🐶
Is anyone else's dog a serious opportunist like Kallie?! 🤣
Luckily Becca knows Kallie's tricks and turned her chair around before leaving the room 👀
The serial escape artist and master toast thief gave it a good go though! 😆😆
“My AWFUL…ly Amazing Work Experience Week”
I’ve really enjoyed my time at Squarestar Digital, the whole team was so welcoming and made sure that I got the most out of this work experience week.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of it, especially learning about organic facebook posts, web design and Facebook ads.
I have learnt so much about Digital marketing and social media management as a whole over the past week and I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and helpful team than Squarestar.”
- Luke ⚽️
Thank you so much for your help, Luke! 🙌 You were a model work experience student 🌟 Even made Chris’ tea to the perfect colour!!! 😜☕️
(P.S. We must add that Luke only had 1 tea round for the whole week! We didn’t think it was relevant to the job, but you can’t do work experience and not make at least 1 round of tea can you?!! 😆😆)
SOOO excited to very very very very nearly have the whole team together for our photoshoot with the lovely Sophie from Skip50! 📸

Can't wait for the photos!
Good luck to all trick or treaters today! That weather outside is HOWLING!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃I just know we’re going to have to brave it later though 😆Happy Halloween everyone!!!
