Brand Communications Assistant Review

I worked in the marketing department, running our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn social media accounts. Engaging in advertising and media campaings for the launch of new cars, working closely with creative and media agencies to deliver the best possible assets and materials neccessary for content. I have to often find creative assets which other colleagues in the company need or other companies who we are partnered with may need

Yes I felt I was given a lot of responsibility during this placement, particularly the fact that I was given the task of running social accounts, the fact that I had to do many things without being supervised gave me a high responsibility.

At the halfway point of my placement would say I have improved slightly with Microsoft Excel already, I am definitely more competent with Powerpoint and online social media tools as well, for example in scheduling posts and boosting posts to a wider audience. I am also much better at writing emails

I received a lot of support and guidance, from all members of my department, from higher up members of other department and then also particularly from my supervisor. Other members of other companies whom we worked closely with also gave me a lot of support for example in the form of inductions.

The company culture and atmosphere was luckily one which I felt at ease in and never really encountered any problems with, I am happy that my department is one which I slotted into easily.

I definitely enjoyed my placement because the flexibility they gave us with hybrid working meant I was able to commute and stay home at my own will, getting a taste of both office life and being able to enjoy working from my desk. I learned a lot during the placement and also was introduced to some interesting new things which I learnt

Yes
