Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a Digital Marketing Assistant at Computacenter, I played an active role in stakeholder engagement, event photography, and corporate headshots. I contributed to the creation of video marketing content, graphic design assets, and was involved in lots of filming and audio production, utilising the full suite of Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given a great deal of responsibility during my placement. I often worked independently on projects, including filming, photography and content creation. I was trusted to manage tasks from start to finish without constant oversight from my supervisor, which gave me the confidence to take initiative and make creative decisions. My supervisor had full trust in my ability to deliver quality work on time, which made the experience feel genuinely valuable and empowering.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received a lot of support and guidance throughout my placement from everyone around me. Mainly from my supervisor, he was brilliant. He was not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also calm, approachable, and easy to talk to. He created a positive and encouraging environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. He gave me the space to work independently but was always available when I needed advice or feedback. His sense of humour and laid back approach made the workplace very enjoyable, and he really helped me build confidence in my abilities. The team I worked in were welcoming and thoughtful, I will miss working with them!
