Digital Marketing Intern Review

As a digitl intern in my division I am in the performance marketing stream. Therefore, I look after Affiliates, Social Conversion, Paid Search and Social Commerce. Day to day involves creating promos, managing agencies, creating assets, writing copy, updating calendars, emails, meetings, reporting.

Yes at my time at L'Oréal I have learnt a wealth of new skills. I have learnt how to manage and lead in terms of owning a process for 5 brands. I have learnt to understand reporting and how to analyse certain data and I have also learnt how to use photoshop. In terms of developing I have developed my confidence, presenting skills, organisation & creative abilities.

Yes I was given a lot of responsibility during my internship. I was the lead contact for the affiliate programme and although for specific approvals I had to consolidate with my manager for most decisions and calls I was the lead and my opinion and thoughts were fully followed through with. I was also asked to lead certain meetings and share reports and figures with more senior members.

The support and guidance that I received on my internship was second to none. Everyone was so open to helping no question was too much. My manager was always willing to make time to have a call and go through anything that I was unsure of or needed help with. Also, the head of digital was extremely empowering and provided guidance and help on how to make our working lives easier.

The company culture & atmospher at L'Oréal is super exciting, inspiring and energetic. Working for brands with so much growth potential provides lots of opportunities and the general consensus is no idea is silly and that testing is the best way to learn. Wellbeing is also at the heart of L'Oréal and the care for the employees is 100% a strength. It is an empowering and amazing place to work.

Despite completing my internship during COVID I have absolutely loved my time at L'Oréal and would do it all again in a heartbeat. It has been so amazing to learn from industry experts and be a driver of growth for some amazing, popular brands. I am thrilled to have got the chance to work for L'Oréal and I would love to have a job there in future.

Yes

Advice I would give would be make sure to stand out and be confident. Make sure there is something different about your application. But most importantly be yourself at L'Oréal the most important thing is having a desire to learn. Make sure to stay organised and collected as working in such a fast pace company you need to be able to be reactive and adaptable.
