Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role included a variety of things which provided valuable, well-rounded experience. I worked on comms including the storyboards, copy etc for key visuals and TV ads. I was project leader for one of the new products, which involved overseeing the whole innovation process from ideation, to artwork. I also did all the logistics for sending samples to various markets. I led their TikTok account, which involved filming and editing content.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
yes, I was project leader for their main product launch in 2025 which meant overseeing the whole innovation process and managing a cross-functional team (R&D, procurement, supply chain), presenting to key stakeholders and ensuring we stayed to the timeline.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I wasn't micromanaged but they always offered support and I felt like I had lot of guidance. I had weekly catch up meetings with my line managers where they would understand my workload and explain processes. They were always happy to jump on a call to help. They made sure I felt challenged enough and constantly revisited my workplan to make sure I was gaining the valuable skills I wanted.
