Hull Marketing Agency Founder Inspires Next Generation of Marketers at South Hunsley School

Josh founded Peaco Marketing in 2020 and heads up client relations and SEO.

THE 30-minute session gave students an insight into what working in digital marketing is really like, covering everything from the day-to-day responsibilities of marketing professionals to the different routes into the industry.

Drawing on his experience of founding and running Peaco Marketing, Joshua offered practical advice on the skills employers look for, how students can gain relevant experience and ways to improve their employability before finishing their education.

The session also explored the changing nature of digital marketing and the opportunities available to young people interested in pursuing a career in the industry.

Joshua Pearson, Founder of Peaco Marketing, said:

"It's always great to have an opportunity to give something back to the local community, especially when it involves helping young people think about their futures.

"Digital marketing is an industry with so many different career opportunities, but it's not necessarily something students get much exposure to during their education.

"I wanted to give them a realistic insight into what the job involves, how they can get started and some practical things they can do now to put themselves in a stronger position when applying for jobs in the future."

The presentation received positive feedback from staff at The Education Alliance, with students already benefiting from the practical guidance shared during the session.

Sarah Barley, Trust Director at The Education Alliance, said:

"It was a fantastic presentation! Your advice is already having a positive impact, as students are now much better equipped to access opportunities. I'll definitely be inviting you back to speak to our Business students. Thank you so much!"

She also praised Joshua's contribution, describing the talk as "an inspiring session that's helping shape the next generation of marketers."
