Digital Marketing Review

I am mainly responsible for keeping all the retailers brand rooms up to date with new content for new launches, preparing for new launches by sending out asset packs to all retailers and ensuring everything is executed online, creating extra visibility content for our retailers websites and creating our sampling campaigns.

My placement has been very beneficial to my development. I have developed my presentation making skill as well as my confidence to to present to the team and outside of the team. I have developed my professional communication skills with both people inside the team and also by working closely with external partners and retailers. I have gained so much confidence in trusting my instincts and working towards tight deadlines.

I feel like I was given a lot of responsibility which I didn't expect at first but I am now grateful for. I was given the responsibility of ensuring all launch packs, brand room assets and extra visibility are sent on time and also executed on time and correctly by the retailers. As the year when on and I developed my skills more I was also given bigger responsibilities to take on which was rewarding.

My team and especially my manager has been so so supportive throughout the year! I had weekly one to ones with my manager but she was always there when I had a question or to help my prioritise my work load when I felt overwhelmed at the beginning. The other interns were also very supported as we all helped each other during the adjustment period.

L'Oréal as a company is very social so within the divisions there are always socials or drinks happening which are always fun to get to know your team and the wider teams. The general office is also very welcoming and friendly so its also very easy to reach out to anyone in the office. There is also a NextGen community for the interns and apprentices which organises socials for people to make friends.

I have really enjoyed my placement year, it was been very valuable to my development for my future career. I have really enjoyed my role and the responsibilities I was given with it, as I felt like the work I was doing was meaningful. I have also loved working with my team as they were all super welcoming from day one and have encouraged me to be more confident.

Yes

I would say to familiarise yourself with the brands at loreal and the ethos behind them, but also look out for any big beauty trends or news happening as this knowledge can make you stand out! I would also show that you are very keen to learn as there is a big push on learning and development in the company.
