Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day-to-day tasks of each marketing intern vary. The role of summer intern depends on which team, and which company you are assigned to. My role overview is to catch up with the commercial team, conduct research and focus on the tasks being assigned, and take on ad-hoc responsibilities if available.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
It was satisfactory to take on responsibilities since day 1 in role, and feeling like being a formal member of the team.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
