Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I focused on mid-to-lower funnel activation (consideration and conversion) across both online and offline retailers. This included ensuring excellence at all touchpoints along the shopper journey and optimising our activations to make products discoverable and shoppable, as well as strengthening our brand equity.
I was the brand guardian and champion innovative improvements and ideas of new ways to engage with shoppers to drive results.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility during my placement. This positively impacted me in many ways, since I was exposed to a number of complicated tasks on a daily basis. It is a challenging role with a lot of responsibility, but definitely worth it. You come out of this placement with additional skills and confidence that can be extremely helpful in your future career.
