Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The main focus is to create artwork for the promotional units for all grocery stores and discounters across UK for Maybelline New York. Everyday, I have meetings with our production agency to check the status of each artwork. I also have team meetings to discuss and get feedback on the artwork. I also go on monthly store visits across London, to compile competitor reports and making sure our units were displayed properly in store.
