Commercial Marketing Intern Review

Led and executed marketing campaigns aimed at a global audience, including creating compelling copy for email and website content. Managed a team of interns on a successful global project. Designed visual assets using Photoshop for website and email imagery. Collaborated with PR, Digital, and Social Media teams to enhance cross-functional initiatives. Coordinated with the Events department to organise meeting schedules and design event invitations.

Over the past year, I’ve really focused on improving my skills in Seismic, making content management smoother. I’ve also supported the marketing team by providing more detailed analytical insights. My knowledge of Excel and HubSpot has grown, helping me create better reports and streamline workflows. I’ve enjoyed collaborating with different teams, which has strengthened my copywriting and marketing strategies. I’ve become more confident with Photoshop for visuals and social media too. Plus, I’ve worked on my interpersonal skills and teamwork, which has helped communication. I still rely on Microsoft Office, while staying up-to-date with digital marketing trends.

During my placement, I was given a significant amount of responsibility, which helped me develop a wide range of skills. I was trusted to manage content through Seismic, assist the marketing team with analytical reports, and lead cross-team collaboration on various projects. I was also tasked with streamlining workflows in HubSpot and Excel, handling social media strategies, and creating visual content using Adobe Photoshop. These responsibilities allowed me to grow in areas like business marketing, copywriting, and digital marketing, while improving my interpersonal and teamwork skills, making me feel like a valuable part of the team.

During my placement, I received strong support and guidance from various sources. My manager provided clear direction and regular feedback, while the team offered hands-on assistance with daily tasks, especially when navigating tools like Seismic, HubSpot, and Excel. I also collaborated with other departments, gaining insights into cross-team projects and marketing strategies. I had a mentor who was always available to discuss my progress and provide advice on professional development. The placement coordinator and team ensured I had everything I needed, offering check-ins to make sure I was on track and making the most of the experience.

The company culture was dynamic and collaborative, fostering an environment where innovation and teamwork thrived. There was a strong emphasis on open communication, with colleagues across all departments being approachable and supportive. The atmosphere was fast-paced yet friendly, with a real sense of inclusivity and encouragement to share ideas. It felt like a place where everyone’s contributions were valued, and there were plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. The company’s focus on technology and travel made it an exciting and forward-thinking environment, with a clear vision for shaping the future of the industry.

I enjoyed my placement at Travelport massively. The combination of a dynamic work environment and the chance to take on real responsibilities made the experience both rewarding and engaging. I loved the opportunity to work with different teams, learn new tools like Seismic and HubSpot, and contribute to meaningful projects. The supportive culture and the constant learning opportunities kept me motivated, and I felt like I was genuinely growing both personally and professionally. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations and left me excited about the next steps in my career.

My advice for anyone applying to Travelport is to just be yourself. They truly appreciate seeing your personality alongside your qualifications and achievements. Don’t overthink the process either. I was nervous about my first pre-recorded interview, but it turned out to be much more relaxed than I expected. It’s a great opportunity to showcase what makes you a perfect fit for the role, so use it to highlight your strengths and show why you're passionate about working there. Stay confident and let your unique qualities shine through.
