Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working underneath the senior brand manager to support on new product launches and marketing campaigns. This included briefing artwork into design agencies for our own website and other E-retailers as well as any point-of-sale. Working with lots of different functions like commercial and digital teams so a varied workload.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, it was gradual but from the 6 month mark I was given more and more responsibility by proving I could hit tough deadlines and deliver high-quality work. This included owning a product launch myself by creating all the artwork as well as leading our biggest E-retail account, having monthly catch ups.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
