Arete22: About the firm

This summer, award-winning sales and marketing firm Arete22 is on the lookout for people with a background in sports or fitness and who are now looking for a change of direction in the business world.

The firm will be running a number of event marketing campaigns throughout Manchester in the coming weeks and believes that a background in playing or competing in sport can develop skills that transfer incredibly well to the fast-paced event marketing world. ‘sports fanatics, athletes, sports team captains all share particular traits. They are competitive and thrive when faced with a challenge, they often see situations as win or lose, which helps them to think strategically and stay two or three steps ahead to keep going and achieve their goals,’ outlines a spokesperson from Arete22.

‘These individuals are also passionate about teamwork and understand that while individual success is important, we increase our abilities when we work together and share our strengths. All these traits drive success in business, which is why we’re particularly interested to hear from applicants with experience in sports in relation to our current event marketing opportunities, they have the kind of energy and skills we are looking for,’ continued the spokesperson.

Arete22 believes this could be a fantastic opportunity for recent graduates, who played sport at university to get their foot in the door of the business world and utilise their non-academic skills to progress faster. ‘We hear more and more that graduates are finding it harder to pursue their field of study in the professional world, and that graduate schemes aren’t providing enough scope for progression. By focusing on non-academic skills, we hope to help people find a different route into the business world and ultimately learn the foundations of business such as customer service, leadership and time management so that they can be as successful as they want to be’, continues the spokesperson for Arete22.

Founded by CEO Cyril Williams, Arete22 creates and executes customised brand experiences that authentically represent brands, connecting with their target audience in unique and memorable ways. The firm’s in-person presentations create experiences that engage consumers, excite the senses, and ignite a lasting passion for their clients’ brands.
