Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked assisted the advocacy team on both paid and love activations, including paid influencer content, influencer and press events and mailers.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I made it clear from the beginning that I wanted to take ownership of projects, to be able to see a job through from the beginning to the end. I owned the mailer process, seeing the send-out of products to influencers and press from from initial briefing stages to final approvals. I spearheaded the entire data management and reporting process for our advocacy team, encompassing the collection, rigorous formatting, and timely distribution of monthly brand performance data.
