Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a digitl intern in my division I am in the performance marketing stream. Therefore, I look after Affiliates, Social Conversion, Paid Search and Social Commerce. Day to day involves creating promos, managing agencies, creating assets, writing copy, updating calendars, emails, meetings, reporting.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given a lot of responsibility during my internship. I was the lead contact for the affiliate programme and although for specific approvals I had to consolidate with my manager for most decisions and calls I was the lead and my opinion and thoughts were fully followed through with. I was also asked to lead certain meetings and share reports and figures with more senior members.

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The support and guidance that I received on my internship was second to none. Everyone was so open to helping no question was too much. My manager was always willing to make time to have a call and go through anything that I was unsure of or needed help with. Also, the head of digital was extremely empowering and provided guidance and help on how to make our working lives easier.
