Assistant Marketing - EMEA Review

I enjoyed every moment of it. Its a fantastic job, working in the heart of London, with a fantastic team around you willing to aid you at every opportunity. In addition, you receive fantastic exposure to both senior people and prominent brands. You get to travel! I spent time in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and was very close to visiting the Middle East. Not only is it great from a work angle, it is genuinely a very happy vibrant place to be!

Its fantastic to be in such a tight knit team. Working within the International region I work closely with colleagues abroad. Although in a virtual team I still believe it to be hugely rewarding. In addition, everyone is interested in helping you and furthering your education. So in that case I felt hugely valued as a member of the team.

My manager was particularly hands on, she is continually receptive to questions you have and will continue to further your learning. In addition she has a wealth of marketing experience and as such will benefit both your time in the placement and also from a wider learning perspective.

There is always a host of things to do, right from planning an event 3 months down the line, to speaking to colleagues in the Nordic countries.

I was given a wealth of responsibility, from operating 3 events in Helsinki, Copenhagen and Stockholm to being given sole responsibility of collating all the win reports for the international region. My boss was never worried to throw me into the deep end as a result I learnt a significant amount more!

As I have previously stated, my manger had vast quantities of experience in marketing. She would happily to take time out of her day to assist with University work and provide insightful input. Much of the work I do is done on tools that need training. However so much of it is learnt when you are operating the tools yourself so inevitably learn the necessary information very quickly!

I have addressed this in a previous question! It was fantastic!

Brilliant, the infrastructure is there too provide placement students for both a busy and insightful experience.

As stated before many of the employees were will to speak to me at the drop of a hat. They invested a huge amount of time in training to better my abilities. They also invested in taking me to many European countries, which I can only say was an amazing experience.

There were 16 Placement students including those form the Teradata Marketing Applications side of the business. It was great to have peers of that age around you!

London is expensive, however the salary most definitely covers the cost of living and socializing.

London speaks for itself in that department. You can do anything!
