Yes, I've learnt how to manage websites on CMS: AEM, agency relations and liaising with agency producers, market research, writing press releases, stakeholder management, social media management, product knowledge, budget management, campaign management, time management, creative reviews, strategic management, and data analysis.

I was surprised at the amount of responsibility given in this role; I would say its definitely the same amount as a marketing executive. Working in a small team means you have a lot more responsibility on your shoulders but it has definitely been manageable. I'd recommend this role for anyone interested in getting a broad marketing experience.

There was no formal training, I did a lot of learning on the job which meant it did take some time to build up responsibility as there was a lot to learn.

The HME (Honda Motor Europe) office is a very corporate environment. Work is expected to be done by the deadlines provided. The general atmosphere is very work-focused, however, the associates are kind and supportive when needed.

There have been great perks of working at Honda Power Products - I've received a boat license, been travelling to many different countries for meetings and photo shoots, and had lovely agency visits. These have been incredible experiences! The day-to-day is more corporate.
