    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I mainly support marketing activities like brand merchandising and sometimes I support digital marketing, PR and events as well. When it gets less busy I complete competitor analysis. On a day to day basis, i start the day by checking emails, responding to emails with quick short actions and flagging ones that require a longer time to responds. Then I work on tasks that are more urgent before working on bigger projects that is less urgent. I will attend meetings when I am needed to, which there is around 5-6 meetings per week consisting of internal team catch up, external agency meetings and event focused meetings
