Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I work in strategy, so my role involves assessing past marketing performance, creating future plans and goals, and getting involved in research to inform new marketing campaigns. This role involves collaborating with lots of different teams, presenting, analysis using Excel, and creating a strategic direction for the department.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibility from my first week and got to present to the whole team within the first month. Since then, I have led my own projects from start to finish.
