Overview
I help the content sales teams sell Disney-owned movies and tv series by providing research insights on the market. My day-to-day involves producing reports that provide information on the market to the sales teams. The teams will also request information on a specific topic and it is also part of my role to help with these requests.
Skills
I've learnt a lot of new skills. My competency with excel has improved drastically since joining the company. I've also been able to develop my ability to analyze trends in different sets of data and how best to explain/communicate these trends to others. I've also done a lot of virtual presentations which have helped improve my public speaking skills.
Responsibilities
We are given quite a lot of responsibility. The reports we produce are our own responsibility and we also have responsibility for specific sales teams in central and eastern Europe. You also help sales teams in other parts of Europe but that responsibility is shared with others in the team. There is a lot of support from your line manager and the team as a whole.
Support & Guidance
I've received a lot of guidance from start to finish. I feel comfortable asking as many questions as I need. The team is always in constant communication either by email or by teams calls. People are very easy to reach and very happy to help you.
Culture
Very welcoming atmosphere. The company culture is very friendly and there is a lot of collaboration with and across departments.
Your Impressions
I've really enjoyed the internship. You really get a good understanding of the industry in the research department and there's plenty of opportunities to learn from others in the research department or from other areas of the business. The support from the team helped me feel comfortable and I'm really glad I've had this experience.
Yes
Try to do some research on the industry in general. Look at what the latest developments are in the TV/movie industry and particularly look at the growth of streaming services. These will help give you a foundation of knowledge that you can build on.
