Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a lot of autonomy to dictate how my role grew over the months. This directionally enabled me to identify the areas of Marketing that I was particularly interested in as a whole and also helped me manage the growth and skills acquisition process as I became more confident in my role.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
As our company has grown through lots of acquisitions, it is hard to identify a distinct culture but i can say that it is an environment where you can show up however confidently you would love to present yourself. Also as it has a hybrid working model you do have the flexibility of being in when necessary which provided a work/life balance.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I have grown a lot both professionally and personally which i am grateful for. I have most definitely identified that marketing is a career i would love to pursue. However, I have also noticed that i am more inclined to the creative bits of marketing rather than the data heavy side of it which i would not have been able to identify had i not done this placement. I do think we have the best internship programme.
Please rate your level of enjoyment on your placement / internship
