Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As Franchise Marketing Intern, everyday was different! Below is some of my main daily tasks:
Managing marketing campaigns (social media and digital) for franchises such as Gabby's Dollhouse, Minions, Jurassic World and Wicked.
Creating assets and campaign wrap ups to be used by teams both internally and externally.
Communicating with teams across EMEA on campaign goals.
Conducted market research of key competitors and brand analysis.
Copywriting and providing feedback for influencers.
Managing daily finances.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was essentially treated like a coordinator/executive. This is exactly what I wanted, as in the future when I go for jobs with these titles, I will have loads of skills to talk to. I had full responsibility over multiple marketing campaigns, asset development and actively talked/ presented in meetings. I feel I am now more than capable of going onto a permanent jobs in the marketing industry. My team were the best.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received so much support from my team, and am so thankful to them for everything I experienced. In the beginning, the previous intern trained me on her day-to-day, which was great to learn from a peer perspective. But whenever I had a question or challenging moment , my hiring manager was nothing but helpful, and taught me so much in my career both here and for the future. Overall, a great team for placement

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It was great! Working for NBCUniversal of course comes with great media perks, such as screenings, merchandise (especially working in products), and exciting experiences. In the overall department, they were very open to talking and we had amazing team socials! My advice: Make the most of it and talk to everyone, as everyone is so lovely and will help you in anyway they can :)

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Long story short, I loved my placement! I always knew I wanted to enter this industry, and this was the best opportunity for me.
