Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Ensuring our projects are meeting deadlines and all stakeholders are on track including our creative and media agencies. Our days vary based on what place a marketing campaign is at, from writing briefs to analysing the agencies response to brief, to looking at post campaign analysis. Managing budgets is a key element to ensure each campaign will be most effective. More daily tasks include managing the sales funnel to see metrics such as google search volumes and how they can vary weekly.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
My team gave me a huge amount of responsibility but ensured I was being guided at every step - a perfect balance. I was signing off large budgets and making key marketing decisions that will be showcased to the public.
