Overview of Role

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

My role sits across both external and internal forms of communication. Tasks range from supporting with different department campaigns to managing our press office inbox. Other tasks include sending responses to journalist queries and creating digital art for use across the screens in our UK Offices.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I am currently leading on two large communications projects which will involved hundreds of employees, and I managed our Christmas giveaways and supported with a 700 employee in-person event.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Since there was a new CEO and uncertain job security for many when I first joined, the atmosphere felt quite uneasy for a few months, however, after time it was exciting and employees were engaged.
