Overview of Role

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

My job role during my placement year will consist of several aspects, be of support to the planning and delivery of the marketing programs for the UK and Ireland. Join with team members, suppliers, and others to help create content, format and inputs plans, support events digital or face to face, support different team members in different activities across the marketing department. I will also be creating communications, be internal or external within the company. Join sales to help them progress response and request from customers feedback.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was lucky enough to be the lead on some of the biggest events in the UK. For example lead the sales and enablement team, which I was given complete freedom and choose whom I wanted to work in my team, I was also given freedom to construct social posts that were sent on social media under the companies name.
