Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My day to day role included managing ‘Generic Creative’ which was a digital content creation campaign that would get posted on Samsung UK socials. As well as that I managed Samsung KX Events, from reviewing event requests to reporting monthly on its data

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of responsibility and a lot of trust. I created the strategy for Samsung KX Events which is a flagship store based in Kings Cross. I never imagined I would’ve been trusted enough to be able to do that but my team really believed in developing my skills & I’m so grateful for that experience

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I received a lot of support and guidance. My manager and I developed a really strong friendship & I received so much support from her & the rest of my team. The company is really built on regular feedback which is super constructive and helps you grow

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

It’s such a diverse and inclusive company. Since Samsung is a Korean company there is so much Korean influence such as having a Korean or Western option in the office canteen. It is a very fast paced atmosphere but it also quite laid back & not what I expected it to be, it’s not as corporate as you would imagine

How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

I absolutely LOVED my placement. It was so much fun, I was able to experience so many different events & develop so many skills as part of it. I built such good friendships with the placements around me but also my team. I would definitely recommend
