Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The role entails working closely with google analytics to create a weekly report on how well the pre-launch of the cars are going. Also - working with agencies to produce creatives. You will also do competitive research to see how other car companies display their cars within creative films.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes - there are a lot of responsibilities that were given. There is a lot of independent work that is done throughout the placement - although the team are very welcoming and always around to answer questions that you might have about the work that you are working on. There is a lot of involvement throughout the projects - and you're able to sit in and get a full understanding of how a creative is produced from start to finish.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was a lot of support and guidance received. There is always someone within the team that is willing to help you if you ever stuck or unsure of what you need to do next. Also, the agency you work with also take time to help you go through their platforms so that you're able to work with them and they're also there to help if you need further support with the platform if there is anything that you're unsure of.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
When I joined it was still when Covid restrictions were around but the company culture is very friendly and people made time to make sure that there was still interaction happening even if it was online. When the office started to open up - the atmosphere was lively and everyone was able to go to lunch and have meeting together - which boost moral all around. Also there culture of working and home and in office - has made work-life balance easier. I would say over all Honda are great for listening to everyone and take on all peoples views and opinions.
