A day in the life of a Marketing and Social Media Intern in the United Kingdom
Marketing and Social Media Intern through the Student Internship Bureau
My advice to students considering work
Search around for the best options for you, if you need to earn a little money, look for a paying internship, if you know you'll need to be close to home over the summer, restrict your location. Make sure you have a great CV (you can get them checked at Careers) and then just apply around for work placements of internships that take you think you'd enjoy.
What I do
I had to create and implement an effective marketing and social media campaign for Red Box Consultancy Services Ltd., that aimed to increase client enquiries along with overall awareness of the company itself.
Skills I use and how I developed them
I used various technical skills such as SEO and HTML along with numerous marketing techniques. Other skills such as the ability to work as part of a team, and organisation were also important.
Going into the internship I already had some prior knowledge of marketing and SEO, however I built upon these throughout the internship by doing constant research and looking at various case studies.
I developed my ability to work as part of a team the most, finding out different techniques and softwares that could help increase productivity as a team and work around our respective schedules. Softwares such as Wanderlust and Outlook were particularly useful!
What I like most
Working as part of a team- Red Box were always keen to answer any questions I had, and were very kind and welcoming from the offset.
What I like least
The travel between my home and my place of work.
What surprised me most
The flexibility and kindness of Red Box, they were always keen to help and involve me in all aspects of their business.
