Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Talent Marketing sits within Talent Acquisition in HR. I work with internal and external clients within an EMEA team, running campaigns to increase brand awareness, attract top talent, and deliver the best candidate experience.
I deliver social media campaigns, host events, and create digital assets. I am the lead contact for 8 external suppliers to promote the IBM brand to UK Early Professionals and have interviewed IBMers globally to craft sell messaging for roles ranging from EPH to Execs.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot more responsibility than I expected and was pleasantly surprised. Seeing as IBM is such a large company, I didn't expect to be able to run with my ideas and have a level of independence which I did have
