Digital Marketing Intern Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed my internship at L’Oréal, I’ve learnt so much in just one year and can already see a significant difference in myself from when I first started. I have had the opportunity to work on multiple brands, work events such as Fashion Week, Boutique openings, four content factory's and will be attending L’Oréal Colour Trophy and Hair Fashion Night in June. I have been given huge responsibilities and been surrounded by fantastic teams.

I had the opportunity to work within multiple teams, each providing both support and friendship. I feel like a valued member of every team and feel like a respected individual amongst a very large company.

My managers wanted me to thrive, learn and succeed as much as I did. The more involved I got, the more I learnt. Particularly with events, my team gave me extra support and guidance and could already notice a difference between my first and second event.

I was constantly busy, there was never a moment when I wasn’t busy. That’s where managing and prioritising workload really came an essential part of keeping to deadlines. With events particularly, I was expected work weekends and late into the evening.

L’Oréal gives you a huge amount of responsibility but this is such a positive/bonus, as they allow you to constantly learn, push yourself and develop a skills set you never knew you had. I currently run four brands social media accounts and am the voice of the brands that’s portrayed on all social channels - it's a huge responsibility.

The skills I have learnt have pushed both my creativity skillset and analytical. I have shocked myself with what I have produced and managed to achieve. Willingness to learn is key. I can take what I have learnt and I apply it to any future job.

The atmosphere was mainly very professional and hardworking - everyone is very busy. On Friday’s the office is more relaxed and fun.

Initially getting the internship was very stressful but once in the internship everything was very well organised and managed.

I had many training sessions throughout the year, these were varied and personalised to my internship. I think working with a big company you really get the support and guidance.

L’Oréal offers a MT graduate scheme, which is very appealing. The organisation has multiple brands and varied roles, which offers so many opportunities for future progression within the workplace.
