UK Consumer Campaign Marketing Executive Review

My work placement was incredible and I am so grateful for the opportunity I was given by Adobe. I was lucky enough to get the chance to organise the coolest events and meet the most amazing people. Everyone at Adobe is so friendly and welcoming, they made my time incredible and couldn't have been more helpful - what a lovely team. Working as a campaign marketing executive for Adobe was the best job ever and I would love to work there in the future.

My colleagues always made me feel valued within the team and always made an effort to ensure I felt comfortable to ask for help. I never felt out of place or uncomfortable, and always knew who to turn to for advice. I couldn't have wished for a better team and a lovelier group of people to work with.

My manager was the most amazing mentor to me and pushed me so far to achieve incredible things. She gave me the perfect balance of support as well as independence, and always provided me with exciting opportunities to spend large amounts of budget. My manager truly made my experience at Adobe incredible and was not only a brilliant manager, but a great friend. Working at Adobe was amazing and I couldn't have wished for a better team.

My day varied in regards to busyness, as some days leading up to an event I would be exceptionally busy but other days were quieter. I always had something to do and was always given an opportunity to think of new creative ideas which would impact the business.

I was given a lot of responsibility during my placement year which enabled me to grow and develop within the industry. I was given the responsibility to organise large events as well as attend them, which built my confidence tremendously.

The skills I learnt throughout my placement have already enabled me to feel more confident with my degree and in a business environment.

The atmosphere in the London office (where I worked) was extremely professional, but also full of life. Everyone was exceptionally focussed when undertaking work, however if I wanted to stop for a chat in the kitchen, everyone was willing to have a conversation.

My placement year was well organised and provided incredible amounts of opportunities for me, enabling me to grow as a professional in the industry. I cannot fault my placement year.

Adobe provided me with a lot of training and development opportunities, with unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning to better my employability skills. I had weekly 1-1's with my manager where we discussed what needed improving and how this could be improved. Throughout my placement I was constantly invested time into through training and regular 1-1's, which made me feel exceptionally valued as part of the team at Adobe.

Unfortunately Adobe do not currently have a graduate scheme in place in the UK, however they are looking to implement this. I would love to work for Adobe when I graduate.

All placement students working for Adobe were friendly, sociable and outgoing - we had a great time! We organised a lot of evenings out after work for drinks to get to know each other and stay connected. I still am in contact with some of the placement students from Adobe.

I was living in London during my placement year which was expensive, not only to live but also to go out. Even to go out for a few drinks after work was pricey, and transport was also expensive. However, the atmosphere was great and definitely worth it.

The nightlife in Shoreditch was awesome! The atmosphere was young and cool, with funky bars and restaurants all over the place - I had a great time.

There were endless gyms left right and centre, which Adobe also paid for as part of a wellness allowance for fitness. Other than this I did not get involved with much but I have heard there is so much to do in London, e.g. Boris Bikes, salsa dancing, bottomless brunches, London Dungeons, London Eye and many tours.
