Frettens’ first new face of 2021

Frettens are delighted to welcome our first new team member of 2021, a year that promises to bring many more to follow.

Cameron Hearn will join the marketing team, led by Lewis Barr, as a Digital Marketing apprentice. He will complete and 18-month apprenticeship in partnership with Bournemouth and Poole College, spending four days a week working with the marketing team, and one at the college.

Marketing Manager Lewis Barr on his new team member

“It’s an exciting time for Cameron to be joining the team. He really impressed us throughout a very competitive interview process, and I know he’ll fit in really well.

I have worked with apprentices on the BPC digital marketer course in the past, so am well aware of the high quality of the course content and the students.

We’ve been through something of a ‘digital transformation’ over the past couple of years, investing in and improving our online platforms and content. We’ve gone from 4,000 monthly users on our website to over 30,000 and are winning lots of new clients as a result.

There are some big projects on the horizon as we continue to invest in digital, including a complete website rebuild and the introduction of a new CRM. These projects will be superb learning opportunities for Cameron, and he will be a big help in both.”

Cameron will initially provide a supporting role in the marketing team, helping create and share useful and timely information with Frettens’ growing client database and online audience.

Managing Partner, Matt Fretten on Cameron

“Digital Marketing has been integral to the firm’s recent growth, so it is quite fitting that the first new face of what will be one of our busiest ever years for recruitment specialises in exactly that.

Clients have moved online. People find legal advice and services via search and social media, and expect to be able to interact with their lawyer digitally, so we will continue to evolve and give our clients what they want.  Our aim is to add value to our existing clients as well as reaching out to new clients and contacts wherever they may be.

We completely overhauled our IT infrastructure last year. Moving to the cloud meant we could offer a seamless service to our clients, as well as genuine flexibility to our team, throughout the pandemic. Adding to our digital marketing team highlights our commitment to this approach in the long-term.”

Cameron, on joining Frettens

“I am excited to be starting my apprenticeship at Frettens. The digital aspects of the company are very intuitive and modern. 

After spending a couple of days at the firm I’m enjoying getting to know my friendly co-workers, they’ve invested a lot of time into getting me up to speed and making me feel welcome here.”
