Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I worked in the Marketing team in the Europe Office, working with other divisions and European subsidiaries to deliver cross-category, pan-European campaigns. I also worked to plan and pilot new sell-out solutions to drive sales and conversion.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Despite there being a lot of opportunities for it, I wasn’t given much responsibility during my placement. My manager changed a few times, so it took a while to build a relationship with the new managers where they trusted my skills and work.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I now have a lot more confidence in my ability to successfully communicate with a variety of different internal and external stakeholders at senior levels. I also now can plan and deliver marketing playbooks to guide key teams to deliver a successful campaign.
