Corporate Marketing Placement Review

Supporting event management, social media, and digital customer experience. Responsibilities include reviewing event proposals, coordinating logistics, and contributing to campaign planning with partner agencies

I was given full ownership of the internal events programme, acting as the main lead in managing end-to-end event delivery. From reviewing event requests to coordinating logistics and overseeing execution, I served as the primary point of contact for both internal teams and external partners.

Project & Event Management: Coordinating logistics, timelines, and stakeholder communication for large-scale events like Samsung Unpacked.
Client & Agency Collaboration: Working cross-functionally , gaining experience in external relationship management.
Social Media & Digital Marketing: Supporting content creation and execution across social platforms, aligning messaging with campaign objectives.
Campaign Coordination: Exposure to end-to-end marketing and PR campaigns, with insight into audience targeting, messaging, and reporting.
Customer Experience Strategy: Contributing to improvements in the digital customer journey.

My team was incredibly supportive, always willing to answer questions, offer guidance, and involve me in meaningful projects. That collaborative environment not only helped me grow in confidence but also reinforced the importance of teamwork, clear communication, and asking for help when needed.

The work culture is fast-paced, and many tasks come through as urgent. It took some time to adapt to the speed and pressure, but over time, I learned how to stay calm, prioritise effectively, and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines. This experience taught me how to thrive in a high-pressure environment while leaning on a supportive team that was always willing to guide and collaborate.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at Samsung and found it to be a challenging and rewarding experience. I was trusted with a high level of responsibility, leading the internal events programme and managing the end-to-end process—from reviewing requests and coordinating logistics to working with agencies and internal stakeholders.
The work culture was fast-paced, with many tasks requiring a quick turnaround. While it took some time to adjust, I learned how to prioritise, stay organised, and deliver under pressure—skills that I’ll carry with me going forward. I also felt genuinely supported throughout; my team was always approachable and willing to help, which made a real difference in my development.
Looking back, I do wish I had sought out more opportunities to get involved in campaign planning and execution, as that’s an area I’m particularly interested in. Still, the experience gave me a strong foundation in project management, stakeholder communication, and working within a dynamic corporate environment.
