Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role included managing some of the commercial aspects of Superdrug.com business, working with the Superdrug social teams and working on our promotional and permanent merchandising. I also collaborated with the marketing teams and Superdrug to create activations. I completed a few projects, which required in depth analysis on various aspects of the business. I also completed ad hoc tasks, such as sending products to retailers.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given large amounts of responsibility during my internship. I was able to solely manage aspects of the Superdrug account, such as online and social media. I also led in collaborating with marketing and Superdrug to create large activations for new products.
