    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I dealt with data manipulation using excel and pivot tables to assess buyer personas and address who our new targeting can include. I also did a website analysis and email automation analysis. This required day-to-day collaboration with my tam and my manager, and i would have different aspects to my day which included collaboration and independent learning and working.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I've learnt a plethora of technical skills such as pivot tables, pardot, google analytics, microsoft clarity, and power bi. I did training courses on trailblazer and also on google analytics. Ive also learnt and honed many of my transferable and soft skills.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given a fair amount of responsibility for example i was given access to live campaigns within pardot and also access to systems that only gave access to a limited amount of people. This was highly beneficial as i was able to gain a lot of involvement in projects.
