Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I mainly support marketing activities like brand merchandising and sometimes I support digital marketing, PR and events as well. When it gets less busy I complete competitor analysis. On a day to day basis, i start the day by checking emails, responding to emails with quick short actions and flagging ones that require a longer time to responds. Then I work on tasks that are more urgent before working on bigger projects that is less urgent. I will attend meetings when I am needed to, which there is around 5-6 meetings per week consisting of internal team catch up, external agency meetings and event focused meetings
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a good amount when my buddy/mentor who was a graduate was managing me but when she left I was less busy as my manager was too busy to always catch up with me or give me more work to do
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
