Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as a Digital Summer Intern was to work alongside the Marketing and E-Commerce teams to deliver on large projects, such as transforming the digital UX. Day-to-day I also supported on smaller tasks such as producing social assets, tracking digital performance and packaging mailer send outs.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A lot of responsibility. I was directly responsible for Redken's user interface, which sees +15k monthly active users. I was given large workload with - at times - short deadlines.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes. Soft skills such as communication, presenting, managing multiple projects and stakeholders at once are all key takeaways. However, working autonomously on a variety of large projects also required me to upskill myself in areas such as HTML and Google Analytics. Other obvious technical skills include Excel and Powerpoint.
