Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In this role, I ensured that all decks were kept up to date with new content and add any information as required. I would also write up lifecycle recommendations, especially if content was in the news or events need to be highlighted. I managed sales materials by copywriting, communicating with the creative agency, gathering feedback and making amendments. I'll also dealt with sales enquiries using our internal systems, and sent weekly industry news updates.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibility by handling the sales solution materials and having the opportunity to be involved in this task from start to finish. The team allowed me to copywrite the outline decks, be the main contact with the creative agency and manage any feedback. Once ready, I would then send these decks to various sales teams and handle any enquiries involving the sales materials.
