    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Global Brand Comms: cross channel communication, stakeholder management, creating asset lists, working with agencies to create and manage asset creation Customer experience: project management, cross channel communication, stakeholder management, end to end testing on technical platforms, using content management systems On a day to day basis, I would have a series of meetings with my team and with various other stakeholders around the business managing, aligning and discussing current and upcoming projects. Every day is different, but would often require following up or updating asset lists or process trackers and various steps to ensure projects are being delivered on time. There is always something interesting going on in the business/ team and would often mean working on smaller different tasks that vary from day to day.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Absolutely. Not only have I gained so much knowledge on various technical platforms which required completing formal training. But I have also developed and improved upon so many soft skills such as: public speaking, communication, networking and leadership amongst many more. I have also learnt about and become a 'team expert' on various platforms to improve efficiency and project management, which I would not have know about had I not undertaken this placement. I have become so much more proficient in basic platforms such as Microsoft excel, and have a much better understanding of not only the importance of certain skills, but skills I know I want to continue to further develop.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes definitely. As an undergrad I thought my tasks would be limited to small odd jobs and admin tasks, however I have been responsible for managing processes, end to end testing, and overseeing whole projects where I am given autonomy to make my own decisions, and am responsible to updating and following up with the rest of my team.
