5 Mins

The Candidate are delighted to announce their partnership with this year’s Digital City Festival which spans across an entire week in Manchester City Centre this Spring. The festival that kicks off on 7th of March at Media City and finishes up on 11th of March at Manchester Convention Centre, has become a flagship event in the North West for the Tech and Digital community. Supported by Prolific North, this is the first conference of its nature since early 2020 due to the challenging conditions we have all recently faced. Because of this, the festival organisers are committed to reaching the maximum audience possible,  so have embraced a hybrid approach of online and in-person experiences. Thousands are expected to turn out for the events across the week at a combination of talks, round tables, live events, and exhibitions.

Life in an Analytics 

Agency-life is undoubtedly demanding and there are challenges that come with such an emerging industry. For example, there is no set way of doing things, so there is always a certain amount of trial and error involved.

There is also so much data available it’s difficult to know how to start to manipulate it so that it can be turned in to actionable insight. Then once you finally have the insight, turning the data into visualizations that non-technical stakeholders can easily digest, with death-by-bar-chart, always requires a bit of brain power.

 

Though in the end, if you have the right mindset, the challenges make it all the more enjoyable as you puzzle it out together as a team. I really do enjoy what I do, and where I do it, so I feel incredibly lucky.

It is on that note that I’d like to thank The Candidate for helping me secure this role. Having the opportunity to run through interview prep with not one, but two, of their senior consultants made me feel more confident and helped to consolidate by thoughts and feelings before the interviews. It was a seamless experience and the fact that I’m still in the same role, as happy as the day I started almost two years later is real testament to the time they took to get to know me and find the perfect opportunity.

10/10, would recommend to a friend (and already have!)
