Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Assisting the Franchise team with day-to-day operation, including social media management, asset wrangling and localisation, admin, finance (creating and processing invoices and POs), agent management, presentation, and market research.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A gradual ramp up in responsibility meant going from shadowing and assisting the team, to assisting projects, presenting and pitching, and eventually managing my own projects entirely. The natural build-up and increase in challenge always felt rewarding, and never patronising or too difficult.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My duty managers went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable at all stages of my internship; never content with letting me sit on the bench, they always ensured I was engaged, motivated, and learning. The perfect team for an internship.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The majority of my internship was conducted whilst working from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic, yet we still had regular group coffee / lunch calls to connect and chat, takeout nights, quizzes, etc. As long as all my tasks were achieved on time to a good standard, I was given freedom of time management. My colleagues were understanding and helpful with any issues that arose.
