Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I dealt with data manipulation using excel and pivot tables to assess buyer personas and address who our new targeting can include. I also did a website analysis and email automation analysis. This required day-to-day collaboration with my tam and my manager, and i would have different aspects to my day which included collaboration and independent learning and working.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a fair amount of responsibility for example i was given access to live campaigns within pardot and also access to systems that only gave access to a limited amount of people. This was highly beneficial as i was able to gain a lot of involvement in projects.
