Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I also work on getting our lifestyle content live onto dotcom carousel galleries. We have to brief an agency to upload the relevant assets when they're approved.
I also work with the merchandising team to ensure promos are put live on site & takedown once the promo has finished. We help choose asstes & copy for the commercial team and then brief to an agency who does the publishing live onto site. Its very fast paced & promos change everyday so its vital to be organised.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I lead reviews within SEUK so have to do a lot of projects & campaigns by myself & figure it out myself with my managers support.
I also have the responsibility of making sure reviews syndicate accurately to and from other Samsung subsidiaries & retailers.
I also have lots of responsibility with merchandising, as the briefs we create go live on site for all customers to see. We have to choose appropriate assets & make sure the information provided is correct and not misleading to any customers.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I would love to come back on the graduate scheme or as a starting position. I felt the business really looked after me and its colleagues, even though we were working from home during the pandemic.
Despite, working from home I thoroughly enjoyed the placement & really enjoyed the work. It didn't feel like a dread to start work, I actually really looked forward to it as everyday was different
