    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • The primary focus of the role was to help build the brands strategic development and support the progression of integrated and innovative initiatives for Beefeater gin. My key purpose was to support the Beefeater brand team with the day to day management of the brand as well as either leading or assisting key marketing initiatives and support the markets to implement them. Mainly based in the global Beefeater Innovation team I supported the development of creative consumer assets to strengthen Beefeater's role in the innovation space. Part of my role also included building strong working relationships with agency suppliers, The Gin Hub Market Activation Team, Brand Ambassadors & Global BM Beefeater.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given lots of responsibility during my placement at the Gin Hub which also grew as I developed and became more comfortable within the role. My managers were extremely supportive throughout my year and gave me the platform to be pushed outside my comfort zone and take lead on certain projects whilst also ensuring I was fully supported along the way. As the year progressed I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to lead certain projects for the brand.
