Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The Shopper Marketing role is extremely varied - the ‘main’ responsibility is to support in the creation of national in-store and online marketing campaigns. However you also work on a wide range of other projects, such as: data analysis, updating trackers and reports, tracking competitor shopper marketing activity, evaluating JDE’s shopper marketing campaigns, managing an external field sales agency and an annual conference and webinar.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, 100%. You are given responsibility from day one which is really good - it allows you to learn from real projects, rather than a placement where you spend 12 months shadowing someone!
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
