Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I shadowed many different people working across many different channels such as affiliates, ATL, SEO and paid social/PPC. I created concise competitor analysis reports, wrote copy for the autumnal product pages and analysed how the retail brands approach women’s issues and the communications around women’s products. I also attended many meetings to gain an insight on how everyone’s job roles came together.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It allowed me to gain a more in depth insight on what specific role I would like to go into as I finish education.
