Marketing Intern Review

My two-week placement at GRB has been an absolute pleasure. The skills I have learned here will undoubtedly help me in my future career. Everyone at the office was friendly and welcoming.

The marketing team gave me the guidance I needed but also trusted me with real tasks, which meant my contribution felt valued. A key thing I found was that [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] frequently offered to explain things in depth because they knew it would be useful to me later in life. Because of this, I learned a few helpful things about HTML coding, which was previously completely foreign to me.

Any questions I had were always answered in a positive and warm manner. No question was dismissed as silly, which definitely encouraged me to query things I didn't understand.

I’ve pitched blog ideas, drafted tweets and queued posts on sites like Storify and Tumblr. I’ve seen first-hand how successful GRB’s social media marketing strategies are. Helping out at a graduate careers fair in London during the first week of my placement made me feel like a real part of the team. The most enjoyable work I did was definitely writing articles for the company blog.

My placement was well structured in the sense that I always had tasks to complete. The marketing team were very good at providing me with meaningful and valued work. I had ongoing tasks that I could come back to each day, and I also was given work that had priority, which I needed to complete by a deadline.

It was a great working environment and I was actually excited to come into work every day. The atmosphere was friendly and people in the different departments always introduced themselves to me.
