Overview
CRM Communications Executive - using Salesforce to deploy end-to-end email campaigns, analyzing their results, working on ad-hoc requests from the wider business, conducting meetings to ensure team collaboration.
Skills
I have greatly developed my understanding of data-led marketing. Understanding brand tone-of-voice and brand image has also been an important skill i've developed. I have learnt how to efficiently conduct meetings with colleagues.
Responsibilities
I was given the responsibility of a manager in my team during my placement. My managers were incredibly trustworthy and gave me the room to develop as an individual. To put this responsibility into figures, I designed, built and deployed a campaign that went to 7.4 million people.
Support & Guidance
My day-to-day manager was my main support. She made it clear from the start of the placement that she was there for me and I always felt like she had my back. I was so lucky to have such a wonderful, kind and supportive manager that singlehandedly facilitated my vast development this year.
Culture
The company culture is amazing. It is a fast-paced, high-achieving environment with innovation happening constantly. I haven't met anyone who wasn't willing to have a coffee-chat (even senior leaders).
Your Impressions
I had an amazing year that has fundamentally changed my career path and outlook. The company has facilitated my not only achieving my goals and aspirations but exceeding them. I have met the most wonderful people this year in a professional and personal capacity.
Yes
Be yourself, be honest and do your research. BA values an understanding of its company and values. If you are personable and genuine you will thrive in this company.
