1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

In my role, my day to day activities could vary from reviewing creative assets and providing feedback to reporting on campaigns. As well as this, an important part of the role is liasing with stakeholders to ensure objectives for a campaign are set and/or on track to being achieved if the campaign is live. Additionally, it would be my responsibility to provide recommendations on how we can improve campaigns performance and efficiency before, during and after a campaign has run.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The program is very well structured and they have 'buddies' which are previous apprentices who are there to support you when you join. Although, there could have been more communication about the program structure pre-joining.
