Best of both worlds for Esme

A digital marketer is enjoying the best of both worlds after embarking on an innovative job share role between Penguin PR and MacMartin.

Esme Wade, a digital marketing executive at marketing and design agency MacMartin, is on secondment at PR firm Penguin.

She recently completed a level 3 apprenticeship with EMA Training and is now dividing her time between Penguin PR’s offices in Duffield Road and MacMartin’s base in Church Broughton.

Esme, who was named a finalist in the Apprentice of the Year category in the Enterprising Women Awards, run by East Midlands Chamber, said: “I’m ambitious to refine my writing style and skills over the course of my career.

“Being given the chance to work among experienced writers at Penguin PR is an opportunity that really excites me.”

Penguin has worked on campaigns for MacMartin, which has in turn designed the leading Derby PR company’s website.

Penguin PR director Sarah Newton said: “We’re eager to get Esme started, as we know that MacMartin have fantastic marketers and Esme will be no exception.

“At the same time, I embrace the opportunity to get the Penguin team teaching and helping an aspiring writer learn and grow.”
