Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Supporting role in delivering marketing activities across brand, PR, events and partnerships. Day-to-day - a broad range of tasks from managing and organising partner assets and creative briefs, to helping influencer activities, press gifting, presentation creation and managing day to day finances, the role will work across our multiple EMEA territories. This internship will give you a good exposure to multiple marketing channels and an opportunity to develop multiple skills in a fast-paced environment. Whilst it is a brand marketing role, you collaborate across the entire marketing team and become knowledgable across the whole marketing funnel.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Some projects and initiatives I had full ownership and responsibility. This included some business partner relationships, creating merchandise, influencer gifting campaigns to name a few.
Others - I acted as an assistant and dipped in and out throughout the project. I had various ad-hoc tasks outside my wider projects to keep me engaged throughout the day :)
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Great experience overall - wonderful team and meaningful work. Unfortunately, unexpected switch from 3-days in office to 4-days impacted company morale. High level of responsibility led to some stressful moments - but overall very positive - wouldn't change it!
