Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I was mainly focusing on prospect engagement, working on social media, email automation and video production. I visited agencies that CBS work with, as well as met with stakeholders.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a fair amount of independent work during the placement. Once I learnt the skills/general gist of how to complete them, I worked by myself to get them done but always had support when I needed it.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
