Overview
I started in Online Retail Marketing which was very data-driven to optimise and monitor performance of Samsung products on various retailer websites. After 3 months, the team structure changed and I moved into Channel Marketing. This role involved communicating with retailers directly to set up products, execute promotional campaigns, and optimise Samsung’s presence on the retailer websites.
Skills
I believe my communication and teamwork skills have significantly improved this year. I have also developed presentation skills, the ability to write clear and persuasive emails, to work flexibly, and respond calmly to change. I have also learnt how to interpret data and use it to make plans for improving performance. Finally, I have learnt how to manage and work within a budget.
Responsibilities
I was given more responsibility than I ever anticipated, which I am very grateful for because this had a great impact on my development.
Support & Guidance
I am happy with the quantity and quality of support I had during my placement. I had daily contact with my line manager and I regularly had catch-ups with the director of my team as well. They looked after me very well. The Emerging Talent team were always available for us too which was excellent.
Culture
The atmosphere was fantastic because there is a good balance between being serious and having fun. The company culture is unique but it truly squeezes the best out of each individual to strive towards objectives.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed it. I will never forget this experience.
Yes
Do plenty of background research on the industry, the company, and values.
