My role is solely Marine focused - I assist with the traditional marketing activities as well as the modern marketing activities, and thus I have gained a plethora of experience across marketing as a whole at Honda. On a day-to-day basis, my jobs vary, as one day I might need to sort out some invoices and help with a marketing campaign, and one day I might be scheduling social media posts on specific platforms. No single day is the same, which is also what helps make the role so enjoyable. I have also had the opportunities to go on business trips both domestically and internationally and been able to see operations first hand, for example shoots where we have filmed our engines on the backs of boats out on the water.

I have learnt to be confident and assured with the job I'm doing, but also to be adventurous and open-minded about trying new things especially related to travel around London and internationally, being able to navigate easily. I have also developed my marketing skillset massively, and have been able to take on a lot of responsibility in the role, not just assisting with activities but being able to take control of them wherever needed.

I was given lots of responsibility right from the get-go. Within my first week I was already writing a press release which was exciting, and with a deadline that I managed to meet well within time. I have been able to visit boat shows like Southampton and Dusseldorf, and also travelled to Greece for a shoot. In terms of managing the social media for around 10 months, this was also great responsibility in terms of social reporting but also content planning.

I received a lot of support and guidance, and being in a team with two others, my manager and then the Digital Marketing manager, I integrated well into the team and they helped me whenever needed. They also encouraged me to take initiative and responsibility of the work I do, which has massively helped in my own personal development during my placement year. If given a new task, they would brief me first to always to make sure I was along the right lines.

The company culture and general atmosphere was good, and I have really enjoyed my time on placement, especially the people I have met and worked with. My team has been a pleasure to work with and so have the wider EU marketing team. The wider EU Marine team has also been a pleasure to work with, and it has been great to get some extra knowledge and expertise from specialists in the department.

I enjoyed my placement a lot and I will definitely set the way we function as a business, as a benchmark for my future employers. It has been a great year of experience here and I will definitely miss it.

I would say that if you're thinking of applying, you need to be an open-minded individual who is ready to get stuck in and who is a keen learner. Also be yourself in your application, Honda want to know the type of person you are so that you can match the role requirements to the best of your ability and work well with the wider team in your department.
