Exeter business steps up to support next-gen digital talent

Digital marketing specialist Optix Solutions has continued its commitment to fostering future talent by supporting the Exeter College Student Awards 2025.

The company proudly sponsored the Digital Media Academy Student of the Year Award, which was presented to Josh Tate.

The prestigious awards ceremony, held at Exeter Cathedral, recognised the hard work, dedication, and achievements of students across various disciplines. Optix Managing Director Rob Stevens was in attendance to present the award to Josh.

Stevens said: “The evening was a fantastic showcase of talent, with inspiring stories from students who have demonstrated resilience, innovation, and commitment to their future careers. As a business that thrives on innovation and talent development, we’re proud to stand alongside Exeter College in nurturing the next generation of professionals.”

He continued, “We loved meeting Josh and his family. He’s a naturally confident young person who is clearly deserving of the award. He told us that one day he hopes to become a television presenter; a role I can see him excelling in. I, and everyone at Optix, wish him the best of luck with his future career.”

Optix Solutions has a strong history of collaborating with Exeter College, notably through its digital bootcamps designed to support upskilling for the unemployed, economically inactive, and those seeking a career change.

With a firm commitment to advancing careers in digital and tech, Optix is keen to connect with students looking to gain experience in social media, digital marketing, or content creation.

In addition, Optix works closely with Your Digital Future and Your Tech Future to provide recruitment services and training opportunities through its Digital Academy.
