Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Supporting the retailer network in Corporate Identity related projects. There are focuses on large rollouts of new CI such as a signage or internals refresh, but also in supporting in Adhoc queries relating to brand standards. The role is incredibly diverse - each day is different to the next.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A large amount of responsibility is given to this role - I am personally responsible for an internal refresh programme as well as other key 'business as usual' type processes. The responsibility slowly built up the further into my internship.
