Marketing Communications Review

Assisting with marketing within the Distribution Europe Business Segment. Day to day tasks include basic administrative tasks, carrying out monthly audits of social media analytics, attending zoom meetings, communicating with suppliers, designing print literature marketing, event management tasks, attending some events in person, assistance with marketing campaigns, dealer support, general support etc

Yes a huge amount - any of the tasks that I look after have a high level of responsibility.
One of my projects was to help design a 24-page print literature brochure which was used for internal and external marketing purposes. There was a high level of responsibility to ensure that this was all up to standard.
I was trusted to attend a product launch event in which there were very high level customers, I was tasked with lots of tasks in the lead up to the event which there was a great need to ensure that everything was correct. This project required a great deal of attention to detail to ensure everything went smoothly.

Organisation - having to manage a large amount of work load has helped me learn to be more organised by using calendars to plan out tasks, keep a tracker to keep on top of everything, categorising emails and folders, setting time aside before meetings to prepare etc
Event management - a new skill learnt through my placement since a significant amount of the year has been spent working on events
Crisis management - through attending events and experiencing issues at times, I have learnt to cope in crisis and to be adaptable to change
I have improved professionally in many more areas, these are the key things to pick out

Throughout the whole year at Cummins if I have ever needed support or guidance, my team has been there to help. There are lots of resources online to look through if ever needed, and I have personally found that the general atmosphere from colleagues throughout the business is very positive and friendly, meaning that everyone is more than willing to help and support if ever needed

Very positive! I have found that everyone I have communicated with internally has been very friendly and welcoming. This has been both virtually and in person communication. I have been luck to have attended a number of different events throughout my role and this has meant meeting lots of different team members within the business - all of these interactions have been positive and I have felt like a valued employee at all times through the way that staff have treated me as a placement student. I have also noticed that the general attitude to work and productivity is positive with staff across the business, which I personally think is due to the positive work culture.

I have really loved my time at Cummins! I think it is a great company to work for, I have been given so many incredible opportunities and have gained priceless experience. The positive workplace atmosphere has also been great to be a part of. No day has ever been the same as there is always a new project to get involved with which has been great for gaining experience and skills.
As a placement student at Cummins, I have been treated the same as if I had of been in the business for 10 years. I have felt valued and respected throughout the year, and really have enjoyed each part of it all!
