    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Everyday is different in a marketing role. The most common element is interacting with different markets (NL, FR, US) on a daily basis. I have numerous projects happening at one time which makes the job extremely interesting and exciting! Every other week I am interacting with account managers from different retailers, checking in on PG tips performance and also suggesting different product listings to build the brands presence in store and online.
