Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I provide support to both the DTC and E-Retail team by providing them with banners, product copy, etc. I also provide support to the field team by creating social packs for product launches. I will help support with new product launches by completing photoshoots, creating banners, etc. Other activities I may complete are: competitor reports, product send outs, quarterly blog articles, legal and scientific work, CRM email briefs ,and samples and testers forecasting.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given high levels of responsibility from my first day at L'Oreal by taking over a product launch from the previous intern. Although I was offered help and guidance from my line manager, I had take the lead. As my time at L'Oreal progressed I was given more responsibility by completing harder tasks to now where I will own a project from start to finish without the help of my manager.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was offered a very high level of support/guidance throughout my placement. This came from my line manager, other members of my team as well as other people in the division. I never felt as if I couldn't ask a questions and everyone is always happy to help.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I felt that the company culture and general atmosphere of the company got better as the year went on. When I started there were no social activities/events due to covid but as the restrictions were eased there were more events in place. This made it easier to integrate and get to know the wider team better.
