Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working for L'Oréál Professionnel in the Indirect Marketing team I was able to network with our wholesale partners and provide them with a variety of digital assets. This included the creation of Instagram tiles, web banners, CRM, and website audits looking at the UX.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. Throughout the year it slowly progresses as you progress in experience too. Responsibility included providing web banners, social tiles, and various other digital components to around 120+ different indirect accounts.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes. Throughout the internship, you are consistently developing and learning. Skills such as communication and organisational skills are important. You are also required to work independently; this gives you an opportunity to learn new skills and go on training courses which include Excel, Powerpoint, and Netbase. This role also allowed me to perfect my Photoshop skills.

From the start of the internship, I had weekly catchups with my manager scheduled into my week as well as additional ones when needed, he was excellent! L'Oréals environment (especially PPD) is very collaborative and everyone I met throughout my year was happy to help me always.
