Apprenticeships
The employment of apprentices is on the rise, with many businesses looking to expand their workforce with eager talent who will shape their business in years to come. Whether you’ve already onboarded an apprentice and are unsure of how to accelerate your recruitment process, or if you’ve just decided that some apprentices would be valuable additions to your team, Big Sound Marketing are here to support the growth of your apprenticeship programme through a strong online and offline presence.
We typically work with companies in sectors who are suffering from a skills shortage. As experienced team members edge closer to retirement, there is a void to fill with passionate people who are ready to start their careers and continue to provide the excellent service of those before them.
Presence
Visibility is key. Without a strong presence and brand identity, both online and offline, it would be unreasonable to expect an influx of apprenticeship enquiries and applications. How is the next generation of industry talent supposed to find your business if you aren’t shouting about it!
It can be difficult to know how to appeal to a younger audience – this is where we come in! We have worked with clients to grow their apprentice cohorts exponentially, and even used our knowledge to employ and mentor our own apprentices. We pride ourselves in producing engaging, relevant content, participating in trends that resonate with your audience and creating materials with a more youthful approach.
We make sure your business is visible by locating your target audience and capturing them with graphics, videos and events that display your company and industry as a progressive environment where younger team members are valued and supported, setting them up for a career filled with success.
Dedicated Social Media
By creating and populating dedicated social media channels, we can find your target audience and engage with them appropriately.
Some benefits of dedicated social media accounts are:
- Create content that resonates with a younger audience
- Tailor the information shared, prioritising the facts prospective apprentices actually want to know
- Prescence on channels that are more popular with younger people – you need to appear where your audience already are
- Create a light-hearted hub of information, providing value for both prospective and current apprentices
- Avoid upsetting your current audience with apprenticeship overload – they follow you for a reason, so let’s keep it that way
- You get the best of both worlds! Nurture both audiences with relevant and engaging content and achieve all your goals
It’s a whole new world, so Big Sound are here to support and guide you towards success. A new audience means new content types, new designs, new videos styles and so much more, but your brand identity will always be at the centre of everything we create.
Careers Fairs
You’ll sense a common theme in our approach – appearing and showcasing your company where your target audience already are. Careers fairs are the perfect opportunity to shout about the apprenticeship options available, your company values and career progression routes.
Whether you’re planning to attend a local fair or a much bigger scale event, Big Sound Marketing ensure that your message will be heard.
We are specialists in our field, providing services including:
- Stand organisation
- Design and production of banners, posters, wall graphics
- Creation of brochures and flyers, from copywriting to design and print
- Activity and engagement ideation and planning
- Social media coverage before, during and after the event
From start to finish, we’ll be by your side, bringing your visions to life and suggesting innovative ideas, keeping your stand fresh and eye-catching.
Brochures? Tick. Certificates? Tick. 10 metre wall graphics? Tick. Awards? Tick!
We think you get the idea! Whatever you require, no matter the size or format, its very likely we can provide a high quality, innovative solution!
Print materials are the perfect way to draw in attention, whether that’s a static banner or brochures and flyers that can be taken away. By prioritising a consistent and clear brand identity, your business will not only stand out but also remain easily recognisable and unforgettable. Whether you’re looking to impress, inform, or inspire, we’re here to help bring your vision to life.
Apprenticeship-specific materials are key to the success of your recruitment and appreciation strategy. You’re talking to a completely different audience, with different priorities, interests and perspectives so your print materials should reflect that.
We’re sure your ideal candidate is full of enthusiasm and ready to learn, so that’s exactly who to aim to attract. At Big Sound, our goal is to help you to create something a little different, combining our creativity with your business targets and producing memorable, branded products and materials.

Employee Recognition
So you’ve hired a FANTASTIC apprentice… now it’s even more important to keep them around! Recognising and rewarding their success will make your apprentice feel valued and like they are truly making an impact.
Employee recognition isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a vital component of building an engaged, motivated, and loyal workforce. When team members feel appreciated, they’re more likely to stay committed, maintain a positive attitude, and perform at their very best. Recognition can come in many forms, from a simple thank-you email to formal awards ceremonies, and every gesture counts.
At Big Sound Marketing, we understand that impactful recognition goes beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team is here to help you plan, organise, and execute your employee recognition efforts to suit your unique company culture. Whether it’s designing a custom certificate to congratulate a job well done, creating bespoke gift packages, or orchestrating large-scale events to celebrate achievements, we ensure every act of appreciation is thoughtful, meaningful, and well-received.
We also specialise in ensuring that your recognition efforts are relevant, on-brand, and aligned with your business values. From personalised messaging to event theming, we make sure your apprentice and employees not only feel recognised but also understand how their hard work contributes to the bigger picture. By celebrating milestones, acknowledging standout performances, and fostering a culture of appreciation, you can create an environment where employees thrive and your business grows.
Let Big Sound Marketing help you turn moments of recognition into lasting impact, ensuring your workforce remains engaged, motivated, and excited to contribute to your success.
