Leading communications agency MM&C has appointed a Marketing Assistant as part of the company’s ongoing drive to offer training opportunities for young professionals who want to gain industry experience.

Jessica Morris, who grew up in Cyprus, has recently returned to her birthplace of the Isle of Man and took up the opportunity with MM&C to gain experience in marketing and PR at the Douglas-based agency where for the next 12 months she will be undertaking roles involving administration, media communications, and market research. The 18-year-old recently completed a level 3 fashion and design course in the UK, during which time she gained experience attending fashion shows and understanding the role which marketing plays in the fashion industry.

She said: “During my studies in the UK I found branding and brand positioning really interesting and wanted to gain practical experience in this field. I look forward to spending a year with MM&C, and to using all the valuable information I learn from this experience to continue my career in marketing.”

Craig Wolstencroft, MM&C Managing Director and founder, said: “We take great pride in helping to support the education and training of young marketers on the Island. Our training opportunities allow young professionals starting out on their careers to gain practical business experience across the wide range of services we offer, including advertising, media relations and events management, to name but a few. We’re delighted to welcome Jessica to our team.”
