Marketing Intern Review

I worked across two core teams in Universal Pictures Content Group (UPCG); Film Marketing & Direct-To-Consumer. Supported international marketing campaigns for UPCG and Focus Features films, ensuring timely delivery of assets including trailers, artwork and promotional materials to territories, briefing creative agencies on campaign requirements, reviewing concepts and designs, and providing feedback to ensure alignment with campaign objectives. Developed presentations for senior managers, frequently used in filmmaker meetings and talent discussions.
Manage social media platforms for the fitness app ‘Own Your Goals Davina’ (175k+ followers), overseeing content approval, running and moderating the Facebook community, and collaborating with creative agencies to develop engaging campaigns and ensure brand consistency. Handled administrative finance tasks, including invoice processing, raising POs and liaising with vendors.

I was given a huge amount of responsibility from briefing agencies on creatives for films to overseeing the social media platforms for OYG Davina, a page with over 175,000 followers. My team trusted me with their projects which was always extremely rewarding.

I learnt an endless amount of skills during my internship, from the small but extremely important things like, communication skills, using email, the basic rules of working in an office, admin skills like managing finances and budgets, managing diaries, taking notes in meetings etc, all the way to creative skills like social media planning, website design, working with creative agencies, giving and receiving feedback, creating presentation decks for filmmaker calls, the list goes on!

There was always someone to talk to for anything. Whether that was interest in joining an ERG, in need of some extra training, future career support, or just everyday wellness check ins, we were covered and it was always comforting knowing this. My line manager was always supportive of everything I did and constantly pushed me to get fully involved and across special projects, we had weekly check ins and I could always just turn up at his desk for anything!

The company culture was fast paced and people first, everyone is super passionate about what they do and it truly shows through the everyday ways of working and teams across the company. The atmosphere has a community feel and everyone looks out for each other. There was always something to get involved in and extra events around the office which were open to everyone, it was nice seeing people come together outside of work for a common interest or for charity.

My internship was truly the best start to my career and helped me build vital skills that I've now brought into my full time role in the music industry. I have built a network of inspiring people from my time at NBCUniversal and it exceeded my expectations and showed me that work is fun!
